Yeah, extremely toxic and very long lasting from strong 5HT2A binding.

Has a neat structure though, everything else about it is 'evil'

Steriods are my favourite structures, especially mometasone furoate:

Also related, amphotericin B, I secretly love it despite its possibly lethal imperfections...

Well, if I want to go from a "chemist" standpoint on elegance and wonder in ways of complexity for a natural product... oh man I don't know if I could choose! I could go with Taxol, the blockbuster drug for breast cancer. It's got a wonderously complex structure with very unusual features, bond activity, and it's synthesis is one of the most important of our time:


Awww :blush: So much love for this drug!

I'm glad that this one was discovered.

In terms of structure alone, I'm a fan of the alkalines. Methane's is neat for its simplicity.
