|Section2= |Section3= }} The molecule malabaricane and its derivatives, the malabaricanes, are triterpene and triterpenoid compounds found in various organisms.〔 〕 They are named after the rain forest tree ''Ailanthus malabarica'' (''Ailanthus triphysa''), from which they were first isolated in 1967 by scientists at the National Chemical Laboratory in Pune, India.〔 〕 Later, great varieties of malabaricanes were discovered in other organisms, mostly in marine sponges such as ''Rhabdastrella globostellata''.〔 〕〔 〕 Isomalabaricanes are malabaricanes in which the three carbon rings of the molecule are connected in ''trans−syn−trans'' conformation, as opposed to other malabaricanes, where the rings are connected in ''trans−anti−trans'' conformation. They are of particular research interest because many of them have been reported to show anti-tumour activity in cell culture.〔 〕〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malabaricane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
