(+) -Plakevulin A
(+) -Plakevulin A is a marine oxylipin isolated from the Okinawan sponge Plakortis sp. It acts as a selective inhibitor of DNA polymerases α and δ, leading to the induction of apoptosis. This mechanism supports its investigation as a potential anticancer agent in both biochemical and cellular research contexts.
