Structures of pahayokolides A and B, cyclic peptides from a Lyngbya sp

J Nat Prod. 2007 May;70(5):730-5. doi: 10.1021/np060389p. Epub 2007 Apr 14.

Abstract

The isolation and structure elucidation of two cyclic peptides, pahayokolides A (1) and B (2), is described. Structural features determined for these compounds include a pendent N-acetyl-N-methyl leucine, both E- and Z-dehydrobutyrines, a homophenylalanine, and an unusual polyhydroxy amino acid that is most likely of mixed polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthase origin. These peptides were purified from a new species of cyanobacteria of the genus Lyngbya, which was isolated from a periphyton mat from the Florida Everglades.
