title = "Kakeromamide A, a new cyclic pentapeptide inducing astrocyte differentiation isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Moorea bouillonii",
abstract = "Kakeromamide A (1), a new cyclic pentapeptide encompassing a thiazole ring moiety and a β-amino acid, was isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Moorea bouillonii. Its structure was elucidated by the spectral analysis and the modified Marfey's method. Compound 1 induced differentiation of neural stem cells into astrocytes at the concentration of 10 µM.",
