Cc. Chehade et al., 1,3-DIMETHYLISOGUANINE, A NEW PURINE FROM THE MARINE SPONGE AMPHIMEDON VIRIDIS, Journal of natural products, 60(7), 1997, pp. 729-731
A new purine, 1,3-dimethylisoguanine (1), has been isolated from the m
arine sponge Amphimedon viridis and identified by analysis of spectros
copic data. Compound 1 increased the contractions obtained by transmur
al electrical stimulation in the guinea pig longitudinal muscle/myente
ric plexus in a dose-dependent manner.
