Isolation and structure of aaptamine a novel heteroaromatic substance possessing α-blocking activity from the sea sponge Aaptos aaptos
TLDR
In this paper, a novel heteroaromatic substance, aaptamine possessing an α-adrenoceptor blocking activity has been isolated from the tropical sea sponge Aaptos aaptos and its structure has been determined to be 1 on the basis of spectral data and chemical degradation.About:
