R. Britton et al., Granulatimide and 6-bromogranulatimide, minor alkaloids of the Brazilian ascidian Didemnum granulatum, J NAT PROD, 64(2), 2001, pp. 254-255
Reinvestigation of the extract of the ascidian Didemnum granulatum collecte
d on the Brazilian coastline led to the isolation of two minor compounds, g
ranulatimide (2) and 6-bromogranulatimide (3), which have been identified b
y analysis of their spectroscopic data. The isolation of 2 and 3 from D. gr
anulatum corroborates previous assumptions about the occurrence of granulat
imide as a natural product.
