title: beta-Carbolines from the blue-green alga Dichothrix baueriana.
abstract: Three new chlorine-containing beta-carbolines, bauerines A-C (1-3), have been isolted from the terrestrial blue-green alga Dichothrix baueriana GO-25-2, and identifying mass and nmr spectral analysis. The alkaloids show activity against herpes simplex virus type 2.
