Metabolomics analysis detected tambjamine alkaloids in aqueous and EtOAc extracts of the marine invertebrates , , , and . Among several tambjamines, the new amino acid derivatives tambjamines M-O (-) were identified by Marfey's advanced analysis, UPLC-MS/MS analyses, and total synthesis. The tambjamine diversity increased from the bryozoan to its nudibranch predators and and attained a higher diversity in , the nudibranch that preys upon and . The total tambjamine content also increases among the trophic levels, probably due to biomagnification. Tambjamines A (), C (), and D () are the major metabolites in the tissues of , , , and and are likely the main chemical defenses of these marine invertebrates.
代谢组学分析检测到海洋无脊椎动物、、、和中含有 Tambjamine 生物碱。在几种 Tambjamine 中,通过 Marfey 的高级分析、UPLC-MS/MS 分析和全合成鉴定了新的氨基酸衍生物 Tambjamine M-O(-)。Tambjamine 的多样性从苔藓虫增加到其裸鳃类捕食者和,并在以捕食和为食的裸鳃类中达到更高的多样性。总 Tambjamine 含量也在营养级之间增加,可能是由于生物放大作用。Tambjamines A()、C()和 D()是、、和组织中的主要代谢物,可能是这些海洋无脊椎动物的主要化学防御物质。
