Description:During a survey of the production of goniodomin A (GDA) by Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax in Danish coastal waters, Krock et al. (2018) obtained mass spectral evidence for the presence of a truncated congener, herein termed GD754, having a molecular weight 14 Da lower than GDA and assigned it as goniodomin B (GDB). An erroneous structure of GDB involving deletion of a methylene group between rings B and D had previously been reported by Espiña et al. (2016) but without experimental details. HPLC properties reported by Krock for GD754 point to it being a homolog of GDA. Comparison of mass spectral fragmentation data reported for GD754 with fragmentation data for GDA, show it to be a truncated form of GDA with the deletion involving a CH2 group from ring F or one of the two methyl substituents on ring F, not elsewhere on the molecule. On biosynthetic grounds, the GD754 congener is proposed to be 34-desmethyl-GDA. Further experimental work will be required to confirm this hypothesis.
