Abstract:
The structure of altemicidin, a new acaricidal and antitumor agent, was determined to be (1R,2S,3aR,7aS)-4-carbamoyl-2-hydroxy-6-methyl-1-(sulfamo ylacetamido)-2,3,3a,6, 7,7a-hexahydro-6-azaindene-1-carboxylic acid by a combination of spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis of its derivatives. Altemicidin is a monoterpene alkaloid.
