Sx. Li et al., THEONELLAPEPTOLIDE IIIE, A NEW CYCLIC PEPTOLIDE FROM THE NEW-ZEALAND DEEP-WATER SPONGE, LAMELLOMORPHA-STRONGYLATA, Journal of natural products, 61(6), 1998, pp. 724-728
The structure, stereochemistry, and conformation of theonellapeptolide
IIIe (1), a new 36-membered ring cyclic peptolide from the New Zealan
d deep-water sponge Lamellomorpha strongylata, is described. The seque
nce of the cytotoxic peptolide was determined through a combination of
NMR and MS-MS techniques and confirmed by X-ray crystal structure ana
lysis, which, with chiral HPLC, established the absolute stereochemist
ry.
