Tautomycin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tautomycin is a chemical that occurs naturally in shellfish. It is a large chemical that is comprised mostly of several phenol rings.

Tautomycin is a phosphatase inhibitor. Tautomycin is pharmacologically important because it is the most selective phosphatase 1 inhibitor. That makes it useful as an NMDA receptor sensitizer that produces relatively weak side effects.
