| 1-((3,5-dichloro)-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-hexanone | A differentiation-inducing factor that is hexaphenone bearing two chloro substituents at positions 3 and 5, two hydroxy substituents at positions 2 and 6 as well as a single methoxy substituent at position 4. A secreted, chlorinated molecule that controls cell fate during development of Dictyostelium cells. | 1-(3,5-dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)hexan-1-one |
