M. Diop et al., A NEW IODINATED METABOLITE AND A NEW ALKYL SULFATE FROM THE SENEGALESE SPONGE PTILOCAULIS SPICULIFER, Journal of natural products, 59(3), 1996, pp. 271-272
The hydrophilic extract of the Senegalese sponge Ptilocaulis spiculife
r has been analyzed. It has been shown to contain dakaramine (1), a ne
w tyrosine derivative containing iodine, an unusual feature for sponge
metabolites. In addition, the new alkyl sulfate 2 (as a counterion of
1) and the known ecdysonic sterol 3 were isolated from the same extra
ct.
