RESUMO
A previously unreported heterodetic cyclic peptide, homophymamide A (1), was isolated from a Homophymia sp. marine sponge. The structure of homophymamide A was determined to be a lower homologue of anabaenopeptins by spectroscopic analysis, chemical degradation, and chemical synthesis. Analysis of the acidic hydrolysate showed that the racemization of Lys took place, leading us to pose a cautionary note on the configurational assignment of peptides that contain a ureido bond.

Oshimalides A (1) and B (2) were isolated from a Luffariella sp. marine sponge. The absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers in the cyclohexenone ring were determined by the modified Mosher's analysis of the reduction product. The absolute configuration of the stereogenic center in the dihydropyran ring was assigned by analysis of the 1H NMR data of the vicinal diols which were prepared by AD-mix reagents stereoselectively.
