1.9 2-Aminoimidazole Alkaloids<br />

The 2-aminoimidazole framework is emerging as an important pharmacophore, 80 and<br />

is widely found in numerous biologically active marine alkaloids. Over the last 25<br />

years, several hundreds of diverse 1-unsubstituted and 1-substituted 2aminoimidazoles<br />

have been characterized. 1-Unsubstituted 2-aminoimidazole<br />

alkaloids (Fig. 1.9.1) have been isolated essentially from various species of marine<br />

sponges (Phylum Porifera) of Caribbean and South Atlantic regions. 81 Oroidin (1) and<br />

the dimeric sceptrin (3) are the most abundant members of the pyrrole-imidazole<br />

family.<br />
