Abstract

Evaluation of the structure of the lichen depside, 4-0-methylcryptochlorophaeic acid, the most potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis known, and its potential interaction with heme supports a model of the active site of prostaglandin synthase initially suggested by studies of arachidonic acid-heme interaction.
