Volatile amphibian pheromones: Macrolides from mantellid frogs from madagascar

Poth, Dennis; Wollenberg, Katharina C.; Vences, Miguel; Schulz, Stefan

Abstract

Amphibians like water, but do they also notice volatile compounds in the air? Yes, they do. Macrolides, such as phoracantholide-J (see picture; upper right structure) or the newly discovered natural product gephyromantolide-A (left structure), are used for communication by mantelline frogs from Madagascar.
