From the ocean : Ammosamides A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ) were isolated from a marine‐derived Streptomyces species collected in the Bahamas. The structures of these chlorinated tricyclic pyrroloquinoline alkaloids were solved using X‐ray crystallographic techniques. Ammosamide A ( 1 ) was shown to contain an unusual thio‐γ‐lactam ring. Both metabolites show specific nanomolar cytotoxicity against selected cancer cell lines.
