Biosynthesis of the novel diterpene isonitrile diisocyanoadociane by a marine sponge of the amphimedon genus: incorporation studies with sodium [14C]cyanide and sodium [2-14C]acetate
Abstract
A marine sponge of the Amphimedon genus incorporates label from sodium [14C]cyanide into the isonitrile carbons of diisocyanoadociane (1); under identical incubation conditions, sodium [2-14C]acetate is not used for the synthesis of this terpene.
