2 Polycavernoside A Isolated by Yasumoto from the edible red alga Polycavernosa tsudai in Guam in Responsible for sudden and fatal human intoxication in Guam in 1991 and in the Philippines in Symptoms: gastrointestinal (vomiting, diarrhea) and neurological (scratching, muscle spasms, paralysis) disorders. Cyanobacterial origin speculated. Group of macrolides with: structurally unique 13-membered central lactone ring disaccharide and trienyl side chains. Polycavernoside A analogs also isolated: Estimated LD 99 in mice (ip) of PA and PB: µg/kg. SAR: macrocyclic core and ipr-polyene side chain required for high toxicity. Hydrolysis of the disaccharide in the stomach would deliver the aglycone bioactive form. Postulated mechanism of action: triggers an initial extracellular calcium entry into the cytosol, resulting in membrane depolarization.

3 Polycavernoside A: Structure Determination & Synthesis Yasumoto (1993): determination (1D/2D NMR) of the partial relative structure of: each sugar component, bottom (C1-C8) and upper (C9-C15) halves of the macrolactone part. Murai (1995): determination (synthetically) of the relative configuration of the sequence of the fucose-xylose bottom half of the macrolactone.
