Debromodispacamides B and D: isolation from the marine sponge Agelas mauritiana and stereoselective synthesis using a biomimetic proline route

Org Lett. 2008 Feb 7;10(3):493-6. doi: 10.1021/ol702866m. Epub 2008 Jan 3.

Abstract

New debromopyrrole-2-aminoimidazolones, debromodispacamide B (1) and debromodispacamide D (2) were isolated from the sponge Agelas mauritiana, collected in the Solomon Islands. A biomimetic one-step reaction from pseudopeptides 5 and 13 in presence of air oxygen and guanidine gave the chiral form of the natural product stereoselectively.
