Archerine. Cimninello and co-workers reported the isolation and structural characterization of the complex bromotyrosine-derived imidazole alkaloid archerine (62) that was isolated from the Caribbean marine sponge Aplysina archeri. The authors used long-range correlation data to assemble four substructural fragments,...
