Hippuristanol is a small molecule found in the coral Isis hippuris [1] which was discovered by Jerry Pelletier and others of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [2] It appears to have anti-viral activity and may hold promise as a cancer therapy. [3] Binds to and inhibits the eukaryotic translation initiation factor protein eIF4A. [4]
