A new dimeric alkaloid plakoramine A [(±)-<b>1</b>] was identified from a marine sponge <i>Plakortis</i> sp. Chiral-phase HPLC separation of (±)-<b>1</b> led to the purified enantiomers (+)-<b>1</b> and (-)-<b>1</b> which both potently inhibited CBL-B E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. The absolute configurations of the enantiomers were determined by quantum chemical calculations. Scrutinization of the purification conditions revealed a previously undescribed, nonenzymatic route to form (±)-<b>1</b ...[more]
