Abstract

N6-methyl mucronatine (C8H12N5O) has been isolated from a dictyoceratid sponge collected in South East Queensland. The solid state structure of the new metabolite (I) was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, while an NMR study in d 4-MeOH reveals the presence of a minor tautomer identified as (II).

Graphical Abstract

The crystal structure of the purine N10-methyl mucronatine (C8H12N5O) is reported, isolated from a dictyoceratid sponge collected in South East Queensland, Australia
