Ml. Bourguetkondracki et al., A NEW BETA-CARBOLINE ALKALOID ISOLATED FROM THE MARINE SPONGE HYRTIOS-ERECTA, Tetrahedron letters, 37(20), 1996, pp. 3457-3460
A novel beta-carboline alkaloid, called hyrtiomanzamine, was isolated
from the marine sponge Hyrtios erecta collected in the Red Sea Its str
ucture elucidation was carried out by application of various one and t
wo D NMR methods. Hyrtiomanzamine 1 is the first 6-OH-beta-carboline r
ing associated to a betaine unit isolated from the marine sponge Hyrti
os erecta. Hyrtiomanzamine 1 showed immunosuppressive activity in the
B lymphocytes reaction assay. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
