Doctoral thesis, Lund University, Sweden. ISBN 91-628-2215-2. 〕 Furthermore, Polygodial is synthetized by Dendrodoris limbata.〔Cimino G, DE Rosa S, DE Stefano S, Sodano G, Villani G. Dorid nudibranch elaborates its own chemical defense. Science. 1983; 19(4589):1237-1238.〕 Chemically it is a drimane-type sesquiterpene dialdehyde of formula C15H22O2. It elicits a warm and pungent flavour. The biological activity of polygodial has been reported in the scientific literature to include antifungal and antimicrobial activities,〔Anke, H. & Sterner, O.

Sesquiterpene dialdehydes inhibit MSU crystal-induced superoxide production by infiltrating neutrophils in an in vivo model of gouty inflammation. Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 47(5), 616-621.〕 Polygodial’s primary antifungal action is as a nonionic surfactant, disrupting the lipid-protein interface of integral proteins nonspecifically, denaturing their functional conformation. It is also likely that polygodial permeates by passive diffusion across the plasma membrane, and once inside the cells may react with a variety of intracellular compounds.〔Kubo , Fujita K, Lee S H, Ha T J. Antibacterial Activity of Polygodial, Phytotherapy Research, 2005, 19, pp 1013-1017〕 It is also used as an insecticide for its antifeedant property, which causes insects to starve. == 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「Polygodial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
