Polyhydroxylated amide analogs of yessotoxin from Protoceratium reticulatum.
Two analogs of yessotoxin were isolated from extracts of a culture of Protoceratium reticulatum. The structures of the analogs were identified as trihydroxylated amides of 41a-homoyessotoxin (1) and 9-methyl-41a-homoyessotoxin (2) by one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS3 analyses. Structures were further confirmed by micro-scale chemical conversions combined with LC-MS3 analyses. No toxic effects were recorded in mice injected intraperitoneally with 2 at a dose of 5000 microg/kg.
