Three anthraquinones, chrysophanol, physcion and 1-o-methyl-2-methoxychrysophanol which have Na+, K+-ATPase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase lowering activities related to cardiotonic action were isolated from the Korean marine echiura, Urechis unicintus. Spectroscopic methods, including HMQC, HMBC and NOE studies, were used to establish the structures.
