L. Chill et al., ORIAMIDE, A NEW CYTOTOXIC CYCLIC PEPTIDE-CONTAINING A NOVEL AMINO-ACID FROM THE MARINE SPONGE THEONELLA SP, Tetrahedron, 53(47), 1997, pp. 16147-16152
A novel cyclic peptide, oriamide (1) containing the new 4-propenoyl-2-
tyrosylthiazole amino acid (PTT), was isolated from the marine sponge
Theonella sp. collected in Sodwana Bay. The structure of oriamide, inc
luding the absolute configuration of all amino acids, was elucidated b
y spectroscopic analysis and degradation experiments. (C) 1997 Elsevie
