J. Kimura et al., ISOLATION OF 1-METHYLHERBIPOLINE SALTS OF HALISULFATE-1 AND OF SUVANINE AS SERINE-PROTEASE INHIBITORS FROM A MARINE SPONGE, COSCINODERMA-MATHEWSI, Journal of natural products, 61(2), 1998, pp. 248-250
Bioassay-guided isolation of serine protease inhibitors from a marine
sponge, Coscinoderma mathewsi, has yielded 1-methylherbipoline salts o
f halisulfate-1 and of suvanine. Structures of these compounds were id
entified by spectroscopic analyses and literature data. Antithrombin a
nd antitrypsin activity was determined.
