โฆ Synopsis
The structural elucidation of palytoxin has involved some complicated and difficult problems because it is a non-crystalline, water soluble, unstable and novel molecule.
2 However, we could ultimately elucidate its total structure by

Palytoxin, in concentrations as low as 100 fM, caused contractions of porcine coronary artery rings. Palytoxin concentrations of < 1 nM caused slowly developing contractions which were not maximal even after 2 h. Rings contracted by 100 nM palytoxin achieved maximal tension by 10 min and relaxed to
