Corydendramines A and B, defensive natural products of the marine hydroid Corydendrium parasiticum.
Two novel piperidinol metabolites, corydendramines A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the marine hydroid Corydendrium parasiticum. The structures of these compounds, which deter feeding by a potential hydroid predator, were determined by interpretation of their spectral data.
