| Abstract: | As an aid for developing a new type of potent insecticide acting on the neuromuscular junction, conformational characteristics of domoic acid and isodomoic acid A, the naturally occurring glutamate agonists, were investigated by X-ray crystal analyses. Conformational comparison with a neuroactive alpha-kainic acid provides information concerning the stereochemical feature responsible for the biological activity. |
