Structures

Prymnesin-1 is formed of a large polyether polycyclic core with several conjugate double and triple bonds, chlorine and nitrogen heteroatoms and O-linked sugar moieties including α-D-ribofuranose, α-L-arabinopyranose, and β-D-galactofuranose, unlike the single linked L-xylose of prymnesin-2.[1][3] There are three forms of prymnesin known, prymnesin 1 and 2, differing in their glycosylation, and prymnesin B1[4] differing in backbone.
