Advices For Studying Organic Chemistry

2) Tetrachloromertensene:

3) (3R)- and (3S)-Cyclocymopol monomethyl ether: show agonistic or

antagonistic effects on the human progesterone receptor, depending on which

enantiomer is used

4) Dactylyne: an inhibitor of pentobarbital metabolism

5) (3E)-Laureatin:

6) Kumepaloxane: a fish antifeedant synthesized by the Guam bubble snail

Haminoea cymbalum, presumably as a defense mechanism for the snail.

7) Brevetoxin B: associated with deadly “red tides”.

8) Eleutherobin: a promising anticancer agent.
