Fluorescent analogs of the ascidian
metabolites didemnin A and tamandarin A were synthesized to
investigate the chemical defense mechanisms of tunicates of
the family Didemnidae. These derivatives provided an ideal
tool to conduct short term studies of predator-prey relationships
between fish and larvae.
Dr. Joullié is a member of the ACS Board of Trustees
