From Sargassum thunbergii which is widely distributed in coastal area of Korea, three norisoprenoids, (+)-epiloliolide (1), (-)-loliolide (2), and apo-9'-fucoxanthinone (3) were isolated by using column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. Compound 1, 2 and 3 were for the first time isolated from the Brown Alga Sargassum thunbergii. Particularly, Compound 1 was for the first time isolated the marine organism although it was reported from the terrestrial plant. Their structures have been determined by extensive 2-D NMR experiments such as $^1H COSY, NOESY, HMQC$, and HMBC and by comparison with the reported data in the literature.
