Isolation, structure determination, and biological activity of Lyngbyabellin A from the marine cyanobacterium lyngbya majuscula.
Lyngbyabellin A (1), a significantly cytotoxic compound with unusual structural features, was isolated from a Guamanian strain of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula. This novel peptolide is… Expand

Total structure determination of apratoxin A, a potent novel cytotoxin from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula.
Apratoxin A (1), a potent cytotoxin with a novel skeleton, has been isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula Harvey ex Gomont. This cyclodepsipeptide of mixed peptide-polyketide… Expand

Biosynthesis and structure of aeruginoside 126A and 126B, cyanobacterial peptide glycosides bearing a 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole moiety.
Aeruginosins represent a group of peptide metabolites isolated from various cyanobacterial genera and from marine sponges that potently inhibit different types of serine proteases. Members of this… Expand

New apratoxins of marine cyanobacterial origin from Guam and Palau.
Two collections of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp. from Guam and Palau that both afforded the potent cytotoxin apratoxin A (1) each yielded different structural analogues with lower degrees of… Expand

Post‐translational Modification in Microviridin Biosynthesis
Cyanobacteria are prolific producers of bioactive natural products that mostly belong to the nonribosomal peptide and polyketide classes. We show here how a linear precursor peptide of microviridin… Expand

Isolation and structure of the cytotoxin lyngbyabellin B and absolute configuration of lyngbyapeptin A from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula.
An analogue of the potent microfilament-disrupter lyngbyabellin A (1) has been isolated as a minor metabolite from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula collected at Apra Harbor, Guam. It… Expand

Potential anti-inflammatory phenolic glycosides from the medicinal plant Moringa oleifera fruits.
Bioassay-guided isolation and purification of the ethyl acetate extract of Moringa oleifera fruits yielded three new phenolic glycosides; 4-[(2'-O-acetyl-alpha-l-rhamnosyloxy) benzyl]isothiocyanate… Expand

Isolation and structure determination of two microcystins and sequence comparison of the McyABC adenylation domains in Planktothrix species.
Microcystins (MCs) are toxic heptapeptides found in cyanobacteria and share the common structure cyclo(-d-Ala(1)-l-X(2)-d-isoMeAsp(3)-l-Z(4)-Adda(5)-d-isoGlu(6)-Mdha(7)). The letters X and Z in the… Expand

Pitipeptolides A and B, new cyclodepsipeptides from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula.
Two new cyclodepsipeptides have been isolated from a population of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula collected at Piti Bomb Holes, Guam. They appear to be unique to this particular… Expand
