Five new chlorinated peptides (5)-(9) have been isolated from a Dysidea sp.
and identified by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The absolute stereoche
mistry of the metabolites was deduced by chemical correlation with S-(-)-4,
4,4-trichloro-3-methylbutanoic acid (10) and with an alcohol (11). (C) 2001
