Abstract
The Ca2+-releasing action of several derivatives of eudistomin D isolated from a marine tunicate was compared with that of caffeine. It was found that 9-methyl-7-bromoeudistomin D was approximately 1000 times more potent than caffeine in causing Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.Keywords
