Mj. Ortega et al., A NEW BROMINATED INDOLE-3-CARBALDEHYDE FROM THE MARINE BRYOZOAN ZOOBOTRYON-VERTICILLATUM, Journal of natural products, 56(4), 1993, pp. 633-636
In addition to the metabolites previously reported, a new natural prod
uct 2,5,6-tribromo-N-methylindole-3-carbaldehyde [1] has been isolated
from the marine bryozoan Zoobotryon verticillatum collected in two di
fferent locations of the Spanish coast. Its structure was elucidated b
y interpretations of spectral data and chemical interconversions. Comp
ound 1 delays the metamorphosis in fertilized sea urchin eggs at low c
oncentrations.
