Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogenetic Variation in the Chemical Defenses of Cane Toads (Bufo marinus): Toxin Profiles and Effects on Predators
TL;DR: The results suggest a dramatic ontogenetic shift in the danger that toads pose to native predators, reflecting rapid changes in the types and amounts of toxins during toad development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cottoquinazoline A and Cotteslosins A and B, metabolites from an australian marine-derived strain of aspergillus versicolor
TL;DR: An Australian marine-derived isolate of Aspergillus versicolor yielded the known fungal metabolites sterigmatocystin, violACEol I, violaceol II, diorcinol, (-)-cyclopenol, and viridicatol, along with a new alkaloid, cottoquinazoline A, and two new cyclopentapeptides, cotteslosins A (2) and B (3).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Collection of spongosorites collected during trawling operations off the southern coast of Australia returned the new alkaloid dragmacidin E (3), the structure of which was secured by detailed spectroscopic analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Citromycetins and bilains A-C: new aromatic polyketides and diketopiperazines from Australian marine-derived and terrestrial Penicillium spp.
TL;DR: The structures for the Penicillium metabolites 1- 18 were assigned by a combination of detailed spectroscopic analysis, including correlation with relevant literature data, chemical derivatization, degradation, and biosynthetic considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
