title: N-Methylsansalvamide, a cytotoxic cyclic depsipeptide from a marine fungus of the genus fusarium.
abstract: N-Methylsansalvamide (1), a new cyclic depsipeptide, was isolated from extracts of a cultured marine fungus, strain CNL-619, identified as a member of the genus Fusarium. N-Methylsansalvamide exhibits weak in vitro cytotoxicity in the NCI human tumor cell line screen (GI50 8.3 microM). The structure of 1 was determined by combined spectral and chemical methods.
