Summary Two pyridine bases were isolated from the marine hoplonemertineAmphiporus angulatus (Fabricius) and identified by mass and PMR-spectroscopy as 2,3′-bipyridyl and 3,2′; 3′,2″; 4″,3′''-tetrapyridyl (Nemertelline). Nemertelline, the first tetrapyridyl natural product to be reported, shows a structural resemblance to the tobacco constituent nicotelline. The crustacean toxicity of 2,3′-bipyridyl is very similar to that of nicotine, but its mammalian toxicity is negligible.
