title: Identification of palytoxin as a principle which causes morphological changes in rat 3Y1 cells in the zoanthid Palythoa aff. margaritae.
abstract: A very potent cell-bursting principle was isolated from the extract of the zoanthid Palythoa aff. margaritae. The compound was identified as palytoxin by comparing the spectral data and HPLC profile with those of an authentic sample.
