Abstract
A series of ichthyotoxic and hemolytic steroid aminoglycosides, pavoninins-1, to -6, has been isolated from the defense secretion of the sole Pardachirus pavoninus, and their respective chemical structures have been established by spectroscopic studies and chemical conversions. The pavoninins exert repellent activity against sharks and are considered to be the factors responsible for the predator-repelling property of the sole.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
