Abstract

In the course of our screening program for bioactive compounds, a novel lipopeptide, nostofungicidine (1), was isolated from the methanolic extract of a field-grown terrestrial blue-green alga, Nostoc commune. The structure of nostofungicidine was elucidated by chemical degradation and extensive NMR measurements including DQF-COSY, HOHAHA, HMBC, and ROESY techniques. Nostofungicidine contains a novel β-amino acid, 3-amino-6-hydroxy stearic acid (Ahs) in its structure.
