“…Lyngbouilloside ( 1 ) is a glycosidic macrolide isolated by Gerwick et al (Tan et al, 2002) from the cyanobacteria Lyngbya bouillonii (Hoffmann and Demoulin, 1991), which also produce several other structurally intriguing natural products including the tetrapeptide lyngbyapeptin (Klein et al, 1999a,b), several macrolides such as laingolide, laingolide A, and madangolide (Klein et al, 1996, 1999a,b), and various lyngbouilloside analogs such as lyngbyaloside ( 2 ) (Klein et al, 1997), lyngbyaloside B ( 3 ) (Luesch et al, 2002; Matthew et al, 2010), and lyngbyaloside C ( 4 ) (Matthew et al, 2010; Figure 1). The structure of lyngbouilloside was determined after exhaustive 1D and 2D NMR analysis, HR-FABMS, IR, and UV absorption experiments, which unveiled the presence of the pendant dienyl side chain, the 14-membered ring lactone, the presence of hydroxyl groups, the chair conformation of the tetrahydropyran ring and the relative configuration of the stereogenic centers in the aglycon portion of the natural product.…”
