Jahanyne, an apoptosis-inducing lipopeptide from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp

Org Lett. 2015 Feb 6;17(3):652-5. doi: 10.1021/ol5036722. Epub 2015 Jan 12.

Abstract

An acetylene-containing lipopeptide, jahanyne, was isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp. Its gross structure was established by spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration was clarified based on a combination of chiral HPLC analyses, spectroscopic analyses, and derivatization reactions. Jahanyne significantly inhibited the growth of human cancer cells and induced apoptosis in HeLa cells.
