T. Chou et al., ISOLATION AND STRUCTURE OF PINNATOXIN-D, A NEW SHELLFISH POISON FROM THE OKINAWAN BIVALVE PINNA-MURICATA, Tetrahedron letters, 37(23), 1996, pp. 4027-4030
A new shellfish poison, pinnatoxin D, has been isolated from the Okina
wan bivalve Pinna muricata. The planar structure was elucidated by ext
ensive 2D NMR experiments, and the relative stereochemistry was deduce
d by NOESY data and (3)J(H-H) coupling constants. Pinnatoxin D is a no
vel amphoteric carbocyclic compound which is composed of a 6,7-spiro r
ing, a 5,6-bicyclo ring and a 6,5,6-trispiro ketal involving 15 chiral
centers. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
