Molluscs: From Chemo-ecological Study to Biotechnological by Guido Cimino (Editor), Margherita Gavagnin (Editor)

By Guido Cimino (Editor), Margherita Gavagnin (Editor)

This is often the 1st e-book on molluscs as assets for pharmaceutical medications. Marine molluscs are very promising applicants for a variety of biotechnological functions. for instance, they own analgesic medicinal drugs stronger than morphine and intensely powerful anticancer brokers. foreign specialists offer assurance of the main stimulating themes relating to molluscs. this data in their heritage and present reports opens the door to the longer term.

Example text

Therefore, pteriatoxins B (11) and C (12) were also assumed to have the same polyether macrocycles as pinnatoxins. The observation of fragmentation ion peaks (m/z 787, 744, 710) suggested the presence of a cysteine moiety in the side-chain. Furthermore, the observation of another fragment ion peak (m/z 712), which was not observed in 10, suggested the presence of a hydroxymethyl group. Therefore, the gross structure of pteriatoxins B and C was determined, 1 as shown in 11 and 12. The position of duplicate signals in the H NMR spectrum suggested that pteriatoxins B (11) and C (12) are also C-34 epimers, like 2 and 3.
