J. Kobayashi et al., TAUROACIDIN-A AND TAUROACIDIN-B, NEW BROMOPYRROLE ALKALOIDS POSSESSING A TAURINE RESIDUE FROM HYMENIACIDON SPONGE, Tetrahedron, 53(49), 1997, pp. 16679-16682
Two new bromopyrrole alkaloids, tauroacidins A (1) and B (2), with tyr
osine kinase inhibitory activity have been isolated from an Okinawan m
arine sponge Hymeniacidon sp. and the structures were elucidated on th
e basis of spectral data and chemical means. Tauroacidins A (1) and B
(2) are rare bromopyrrole alkaloids possessing a taurine residue. (C)
