Corallistine, a new polynitrogen compound from the sponge Corallistes fulvodesmus L. and L.

Two polynitrogen compounds 1-methyl-pteridine-2,4-dione 1b and corallistine 2 were isolated from the new-caledonian sponge #Corallistes fulvodesmus$ L. & L. The structure of corallistine was determinated by X-ray single crystal analysis of its 6'-isobutyloxycarbonyl derivative 3. (Résumé d'auteur

Dichlorolissoclimide, a new cytotoxic labdane derivative from Lissoclinum voeltzkowi Michaelson (Urochordata)

Spectral methods were used to determine the structure of a new cytotoxic compound, dicnlorolissoclimide 1, isolated from the New Caledonian ascidian #Lissoclinum voeltzkowi$ Michaelson. (Résumé d'auteur

Three new potent cytotoxic macrolides closely related to sphinxolide from the New Caledonia sponge Neosiphonia superstes

Three new macrolides 2-4 have been isolated with sphinxolide 1 from the marine sponge #N. superstes$ collected off New Caledonia. The structures of the new compounds were determined by interpretation of NMR spectral data as well as comparison of spectral data with those of 1. These compounds were highly cytotoxic against various human carcinoma cells. (Résumé d'auteur

A novel group of polyhydroxycholanic acid derivatives from the deep water starfish Styracaster caroli

Three novel polyhydroxysteroid constituents have been isolated from the starfish #Stracaster caroli$ collected at a depht of 2000 m off New Caledonia. These, designated carolisterols A - C (1 - 3), are characterized by a polyhydroxycholanic acid moiety, in which the 24-carboxylic acid function is found as an amide derivative ofD-cysteinolic acid.
