The X-ray crystal structure determination of the C2H5OH.H2O solvate of ascidiacyclamide (C36H52N8O6S2), a cytotoxic cyclic peptide from marine tunicate Ascidian, revealed a C2-symmetric saddle-shaped rectangular conformation of the molecule. The water and ethanol molecules are located on the crystallographic diad axis and are held by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts with the polar ring N atoms and nonpolar D-Val side-chain atoms, respectively. The molecular conformation and the interaction with solvent molecules are nearly the same as those of the compound with C2H5OH.2H2O [Ishida, In, Doi, Inoue, Hamada & Shioiri (1992). Biopolymers, 32, 131-143].
