Papuamide

Papuamides A and B are depsipeptides which appear to protect T cells from HIV.[1] They were isolated from the sponge Theonella,[1] and are part of a larger group of structurally similar depsipeptides—also isolated from sponges—including neamphamide A, callipeltin A, and mirabamides A-D.[2]
