Abstract
To elucidate the inhibitory action of acetogenins, we synthesized an acetogenin derivative which possesses tetraol in place of the tetrahydrofuran ring and examined its inhibitory activity against bovine heart mitochondrial complex I. Our results indicate that these hydroxy groups are an essential structural factor though it is not effective as bis-THF hydroxy groups combination.
