Abstract
The Caribbean sponge Batzella sp. contains a number of guanidine alkal oids, two of which, batzelladines A (1) and B (2), inhibit the binding of HIVgp-120 to CD4 and are therefore potential inhibitors of HIV. In addition to the known metabolites ptilomycalin A (6), ptilocaulin (7) , crambescin A (8), crambescidin 800 (9), and crambescidin 816 (10), B atzella sp. contains five new alkaloids, batzelladines A-E (1-5), the structures of which were elucidated by interpretation of spectral data and chemical degradation.
