E. Aboumansour et al., [TYR(5)]DIDEMNIN-B AND [D-PRO(4)]DIDEMNIN-B - 2 NEW NATURAL DIDEMNINSWITH A MODIFIED MACROCYCLE, Tetrahedron, 51(46), 1995, pp. 12591-12600
The structures of the two natural didemnins with a modified macrocycle
, [Tyr(5)]didemnin B [2] and [D-Pro(4)]didemnin B [3], isolated from.
the Aplousobranch ascidian Trididemnum cyanophorum (Didemnidae) are de
scribed. Structures were determined by FABMS and NMR spectroscopy, abs
olute configurations by Marfey analysis of the acid hydrolisates. Conf
ormational informations are given and cytotoxic activities against hum
an lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines evaluated.
