Org Lett. 2007 Jun 7;9(12):2369-71. doi: 10.1021/ol0707867. Epub 2007 May 16.

Abstract

A novel dimeric bromopyrrole alkaloid, nagelamide J (1), with antimicrobial activity has been isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Agelas species, and the structure and stereochemistry were elucidated from spectroscopic data. Nagelamide J (1) is the first bromopyrrole alkaloid possessing a cyclopentane ring fused to an amino imidazole ring.
