Abstract

The combined use of the J-modulated selective INEPT and CSCM 1DNMR techniques is described for the structure elucidation of several new classes of compound including prionitin, the loureirins and larreantin, and for the regiosubstitution of the furanonaphthoquinones. Spectroscopic studies on the conformation of the cytotoxic agent savinin are also described, together with the NMR assignments and preliminary biosynthetic experiments on the antitumor antibiotic staurosporine.
