Lyngbyacyclamides A and B, novel cytotoxic peptides from marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya sp.

Lyngbyacyclamides A (1) and B (2), novel cyclic peptides, were isolated from marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya sp. collected in Okinawa, Japan. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses and degradation studies. They moderately inhibited the growth of B16 mouse melanoma cells.
