Gw. Chan et al., PURPURONE, AN INHIBITOR OF ATP CITRATE LYASE - A NOVEL ALKALOID FROM THE MARINE SPONGE IOTROCHOTA SP, Journal of organic chemistry, 58(9), 1993, pp. 2544-2546
A novel compound, purpurone (1), with ATP-citrate lyase inhibitory act
ivity, was isolated from the marine sponge Iotrochota sp. Its structur
e was established mainly on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data. Purpu
rone represents the first example of a new class of marine products.
