Abstract

By a combination of chemical, 'H and l3 C NMR, and mass spectrometric studies, two alternative structures for Moroidin, from Laportea moroides, hawbeen elucidated. Moroidin, which may be responsible at least in part for the toxicity of Laportea moroides, is a tricyclic octapeptide containing an unusual C-N linkage between tryptophan and histidine residues.
