Lyngbyabellin A (1), a significantly cytotoxic compound with unusual structural features, was isolated from a Guamanian strain of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula. This novel peptolide is structurally related to dolabellin (2) in that both depsipeptides bear a dichlorinated beta-hydroxy acid and two functionalized thiazole carboxylic acid units. Its gross structure has been elucidated by spectral analysis, including 2D NMR techniques. The absolute stereochemistry of 1 was determined by chiral HPLC analysis of hydrolysis products and by characterization of the degradation products methyl 7,7-dichloro-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyloctanoate (3) and the corresponding acid 4. The total structure was further supported by molecular modeling studies. The isolation of 1 from L. majuscula once more supports the proposal that many compounds originally isolated from the sea hare Dolabella auricularia are of cyanobacterial origin. Lyngbyabellin A (1) was shown to be a potent disrupter of the cellular microfilament network.
