thecacellen
Thecacellen is a term used in fictional and hypothetical contexts to denote a chemical compound that is not known to exist in real-world chemical catalogs. It is commonly described as a polycyclic lactone or ether–lactone hybrid with a rigid multi-ring core and one or more substituents. Because the concept is fictional, there is no single authoritative structure; different sources present varying ring frameworks and stereochemistry.
In fictional treatments, thecacellen is often attributed to a hypothetical microorganism or sponge-like genus such as
Biosynthesis in these contexts is typically portrayed as a polyketide-derived pathway, with iterative assembly of acyl
In practice, thecacellen serves as a teaching and storytelling device rather than a documented chemical. It
