Description:
A highly inflammatory and vesicatory substance, lyngbyatoxin A, has been isolated from the lipid extract of a Hawaiian shallow-water variety of Lyngbya majuscula Gomont; its gross structure was determined from chemical and spectral data. Lyngbyatoxin A is closely related to teleocidin B, a poisonous substance associated with several strains of Streptomyces.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cardellina, J H 2nd -- Marner, F J -- Moore, R E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Apr 13;204(4389):193-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/107586" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
