Abstract
Pinnarine (1), a new macrocyclic alkaloid, was isolated from the black marine sponge Halichondria okadai. The structure was elucidated on the basis of 2D NMR and comparison with the spectra of the co-isolated known halichlorine. Further confirmation of the structure and the absolute configuration was validated by a synthetic method from authentic pinnaic acid and CD analysis. The isolation of pinnarine also suggested a biogenetic pathway from pinnaic acid to halichlorine. (Chemical Equation Presented).
