Objective:
To investigate the chemical constituents of Antipathes dichotoma.
Methods:
The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel and their structures were identified by spectral analyses and comparison with literatures.
Results:
Nine compounds were obtained from A. dichotam and characterized as cholesterol (I), ergosta-5-ene-3-ol (II), 4-methyl-ergostatrien-3-ol (III), p-hydroxybenzoate (IV), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (V), vanillin (VI), caffeic acid (VII), batyl alcohol (VIII), and theymine (IX).
Conclusion:
Compounds II - VII are obtained from Antipathes dichotoma for the first time.

01:17Antidotes
Specific antidotes operate by inhibiting the enzymes that control biochemical pathways, reducing the production of harmful metabolites.
An example of an antidote is atropine, which counteracts the detrimental effects of cholinesterase inhibitors. It achieves this by deactivating muscarinic receptors,...
