Sporolides A and B: structurally unprecedented halogenated macrolides from the marine actinomycete Salinispora tropica

Org Lett. 2005 Jun 23;7(13):2731-4. doi: 10.1021/ol050901i.

Abstract

[structure: see text] Analysis of the fermentation broth of a strain of the marine actinomycete Salinispora tropica has led to the isolation of two unprecedented macrolides, sporolides A (1) and B (2). The structures and absolute stereochemistries of both metabolites were elucidated using a combination of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
