The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxic marine alkaloid, first isolated in 1909 from pufferfish and named after the biological order tetraodontiformes. Since its structural elucidation in 1964, it has attracted the interest of synthetic organic chemists due to its exceptional polarity, complex architecture, and important biological activity.
