Abstract

Analogues of hippospongic acid A, which inhibit the gastrulation of sea urchin embryos, were synthesized. From a study on structure—activity relationships, the conjugated carboxylic acid moiety was found to be an essential feature for biological activity.

Keywords: Gastrulation; hippospongic acid A; structure— activity relationship; synthesis.
