Abstract

(equation presented) Neodysidenin was isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea herbacea (Keller 1889) collected on the Great Barrier Reef. The complete configuration was obtained from a combination of methods, including capillary electrophoresis of Marfey's derivatives. Neodysidenin belongs to the L-series of trichloroleucine peptides, and the configuration of the N-methyl thiazolyl alanine residue (13R) is opposite to that of dysidenin.
