Abstract

In previous papers2'33, the structure of eisenine, tripeptide isolated from the brown marine alga Eisenia bicyclis Setchell4'53, had been confirmed by synthesis. Eisenine was thus shown to be L-pyroglutamyl-L-glutaminyl-L-alanine (I). A similar tripeptide, fastigiatine, had been obtained by Fruton and his coworkers from the American marine alga Pelvetia fastigiata^. CO-CH2 CH2-CONH2
