Abstract

Abstract Dolastatin D (1), a cytotoxic cyclic depsipeptide possessing the novel β-amino acid (2R, 3R)-3-amino-2-methylbutanoic acid [(2R, 3R]-3] as a component, has been isolated from the Japanese sea hare Dolabella auricularia. The absolute stereostructure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical degradation and was further confirmed by synthesis.
