Abstract
Thirteen new ritterazines, ritterazines N-Z (2-14), were isolated from the tunicate Ritterella tokioka. Chemical transformation of ritterazine B, the most active among the ritterazines, by reduction, oxidation, methanolysis, and acetylation furnished compounds 20, 21, 23, and 25-29. Cytotoxicity of 26 natural products and chemically modified ritterazine B disclosed important structural features of the ritterazines for cytotoxic activity.Entities:
