In Figure 1, the structures of notoamide C (3) and 3-epi-notoamide C (7) should be corrected as shown: This error was caused by the configuration of notoamide C, which was initially assigned as 3R based on biogenetic considerations.1 Recently, the absolute configuration of notoamide C was corrected to be 3S based on the biochemical conversion of notoamide E into notoamide C by recombinant NotB.2 Recently, the relative and absolute configuration of notoamide C was independently reported by Chen, et al. by single crystal X-ray analysis of notoamide C isolated from Aspergillus sp. XS-20090066.3 Accordingly the configuration of 7 was corrected to be 3R.
