title: Structure and anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of 4 alpha-(hydroxymethyl)-4 alpha-demethylterritrem B.
abstract: The structure of a metabolite produced on incubation of territrem B (1) with rat liver microsomes has been established to be 4 alpha-(hydroxymethyl)-4 alpha-demethylterritrem B (5). Compound 5 was a potent inhibitor of electric eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (E.C. 3.1.1.7).
