Ss. Mitchell et al., Cyclodidemniserinol trisulfate, a sulfated serinolipid from the Palauan ascidian Didemnum guttatum that inhibits HIV-1 integrase, ORG LETT, 2(11), 2000, pp. 1605-1607
[GRAPHICS]
Bioassay-guided fractionation of extracts of the Palauan ascidian Didemnum
guttatum led to the isolation of cyclodidemniserinol trisulfate (1) as an i
nhibitor of HIV-1 integrase, which is an attractive target for anti-retrovi
ral chemotherapy. The structure of cyclodidemniserinol trisulfate (1), the
stereochemistry of which was only partially determined, was elucidated by i
nterpretation of NMR and mass spectral data.
