摘要
A toxic substance (climacostol) of the protozoan ciliate Climacostomum virens against the predatory ciliate Dileptus margaritifer was established as 1,3-dihydoxy-5-[(Z)-2'-nonenyl]benzene. The structure was rigorously confirmed by the total synthesis. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
