%X In this short communication, we present the first Fourier Transform Infrared Absorbance (FT-IR) study of peruphasmal; a defensive secretion from Peruphasma schultei. The spectral data collected are representative of the natural product structure proposed by Dossey et al. This study demonstrates the viability of FT-IR as another tool in the physical and biological chemist's repertoire for use in determining important structural characteristics from minute amounts of available sample.
