title: Cyclic peptides from higher plants. 24.1 yunnanin C, a novel cyclic heptapeptide from Stellaria yunnanensis.
abstract: A novel cytotoxic cyclic heptapeptide, yunnanin C (1), was isolated from the roots of Stellaria yunnanensis. The structure of 1, cyclo(-Gly-Ile-Gly-Phe-Tyr-Ser-Pro-), was elucidated from spectroscopic evidence and by chemical degradation.
