Compound 1 inhibits phospholipase A2 (93% inhibition at 4.4 mm concentration) whereas 4 is a feeding deterrent for herbivorous gastropods and sea urchins and therefore likely plays a role for the chemical defense of the producing algae, see: a) A.

21. This reaction enabled the total synthesis of neurymenolide A; although this compound is a 2-pyrone with a cyclophane scaffold, it is arguably the closest relative of 1-6 currently known.
