Abstract
- A study was done on the structure of maitotoxin which is derived from cultures of dinoflagellates treated with NaIO4 and NaBH4. Results show that the toxin is a C142 carbon chain of composition C164H256O68S2Na2 with a molecular weight of 3422. It has 32 ether rings, 28 hydroxyl groups and two sulfate esters. Most of the ether rings are trans-fused except for rings L/M and N/O which exhibits cis-fusion.
