Homarine, a common metabolite in edible Mediterranean molluscs: Occurrence, spectral data and revision of a related structure

Abstract

Homarine was isolated from nine edible species of marine molluscs belonging to classes Gastropoda, Bivalvia, and Cephalopoda. A thorough chromatographic, NMR and MS study provided evidence that homarine is a common and abundant metabolite of all these species. This study casts doubt on a previous assertion that 1,1’-dimethyi-[2,2’]-bipyridinium is a metabolite of the Bivalve Callista chione
