Abstract
The roe of northern blenny or Japanese prickleback Stichaeus grigorjewi (Herzenstein) contains a toxic phospholipid inducing the severe gastrointestinal disorders in warm blooded animals. We designated it as dinogunellin and demonstrated that it has two moles of ammonia and one mole each of adenine, aspartic acid, glycerol, and phosphorus. We obtained also an unknown nitrogenous compound (compound A) in the crystalline state by mild base hydrolysis (Hatano and Hashimoto, 1974).
