Dg. Nagle et al., YPAOAMIDE, A NEW BROADLY ACTING FEEDING DETERRENT FROM THE MARINE CYANOBACTERIUM LYNGBYA-MAJUSCULA, Tetrahedron letters, 37(35), 1996, pp. 6263-6266
Ypaoamide, a new herbivore antifeedent metabolite, was isolated from t
he extract of a mixed cyanobacteria assemblage which was composed of S
chizothrix calcicola and Lyngbya majuscula. The structure was determin
ed spectroscopically by interpretation of 2D-NMR experiments, includin
g HMBC and NOESY, and by comparison with model compounds. Isolated cel
ls of the L. majuscula produced ypaoamide in laboratory culture. Copyr
