Amaranzole A, a new N-imidazolyl steroid from Phorbas amaranthus.
An unprecedented 24-N-imidazolyl steroidal alkaloid, amaranzole A, was isolated from a tropical sponge, Phorbas amaranthus. The structure was solved by interpretation of MS, NMR, including a novel exciton-coupled CD spectrum due to an allyl imidazole, and comparison with model compounds.
