A novel SAAF was isolated from the title ascidian. The structure was elucidated using the entire sample of 4 nmol, suggesting that the position of the OH group confers genus-specificity to sperm chemotaxis in ascidians. This study not only provides insight into the chemical tactics in sperm chemotaxis but demonstrates that the innovative techniques allow structure determination of natural products in trace amounts.
从该种被囊动物中分离得到一种新型 SAAF。利用 4nmol 的全样本阐明了结构，表明 OH 基团的位置赋予了被囊动物精子趋化性的种属特异性。该研究不仅深入了解了精子趋化性的化学策略，还展示了创新技术可用于痕量天然产物的结构测定。
