Biosynthetic studies of the DSP toxin DTX-4 and an okadaic acid diol ester
Abstract
Stable isotope incorporation experiments with 13C- and 18O-labelled precursors show that all the carbon atoms in DTX-4 2 and an okadaic acid diol ester 3 are derived from acetate and glycolate, and also identify the acetate and glycolate derived oxygen atoms.
