Popis: | The ovaries of the marine snail Turbo cornutus contain a number of pigments. So far, the presence of carotenoids and a chromoprotein with a bile pigment, called turboverdin (= 3(2)-hydroxy-mesobiliverdin IX alpha), as its prosthetic group are known. The present work describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two further bile pigments, biliverdin IX delta and neobiliverdin IX delta. This is the first report of naturally occurring bile pigments with IX delta structure. |
