Abstract: Dinogunellins A-D, ichthyootoxic phospholipids, have been isolated from the mature eggs of the northern blenny Stichaeus grigorjewi. Their structures were determined based on spectral and chemical methods as a mixture of 2’- or 3’-acylated adenosine 5’-phosphate linked to the α-carboxyl group of L-asparagine through a P-N bond.
