title: Potent inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation by marine natural products.
abstract: Many lipid-soluble extracts from various marine organisms have a nonspecific depressant effect on smooth muscle contractions. Novel compounds isolated from such lipid-soluble extracts were tested for their effects on the respiration of rat liver mitochondria and produced potent stimulation or inhibition of oxygen uptake by the mitochondria.
