Two new macrolide derivatives, madangolide (2) and laingolide A (3), have been isolated from the cyanobacterium Lyngbya bouillonii, collected in Papua New Guinea. Their structures (without stereochemistry) have been established by detailed high-field 1D and 2D NMR studies and, in the case of 3, by comparison with the spectroscopic data of laingolide (1), previously isolated from the same organism.

A novel 16-membered macrolide linked to a 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-6-deoxy-α-mannopyranoside, lyngbyaloside (1), has been isolated from the blue-green alga Lyngbya bouillonii, collected on Laing Island (Papua New Guinea). Its structure has been established by a detailed high-field 2D NMR study. The relative configuration of 8 out of the 13 stereogenic carbon atoms is proposed from the analysis of NOE difference experiments.
