Using an efficient Wacker oxidation as a key step, we describe a significantly improved synthesis of the dauer-promoting ascaroside 2 for biological studies of the novel sterol ring methylase STRM-1.
Selective MS screening reveals a sex pheromone in: Caenorhabditis briggsae and species-specificity in indole ascaroside signalling
Dong, Chuanfu,Dolke, Franziska,Von Reuss, Stephan H.
, p. 7217 - 7225 (2016/08/05)
The indole ascarosides (icas) represent a highly potent class of nematode-derived modular signalling components that integrate structural inputs from amino acid, carbohydrate, and fatty acid metabolism. Comparative analysis of the crude exo-metabolome of
Ascaroside activity in Caenorhabditis elegans is highly dependent on chemical structure

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans secretes ascarosides, structurally diverse derivatives of the 3,6-dideoxysugar ascarylose, and uses them in chemical communication. At high population densities, specific ascarosides, which are together known as the dau
