Vibrindole A, a metabolite of the marine bacterium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, isolated from the toxic mucus of the boxfish Ostracion cubicus.
The EtOAc extract of the whole culture medium of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which inhabits the toxic mucus of the box fish Ostracion cubicus, afforded a new indole-derived natural product, vibrindole A [1], along with some known cyclic dipeptides and indoles. The structure of 1 was determined by analysis of its physicochemical characteristics.
