Abstract
cis -5-Hydroxy-4-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl)-4-(2″-imidazolyl)-1,2,3-trithiane 1 was isolated from the New Zealand ascidian Aplidium sp. D. In neutral or slightly basic solution 1 interconverts to the trans isomer 3 . These isomers are the precursors to 2-vanilloyl imidazole 2 , previously reported from an extract of an Australian species of Aplidium . Both trithiane isomers are active against P388 leukemia cells in vitro .
