In 1978, scientists extracted a compound with antitumor and antiviral properties from marine animals in the Caribbean Sea. During elemental analysis of this compound, a 2.52 mg sample of the compound, didemnin-C, was found to give, upon combustion, 5.680 mg of CO2, and 1.823 mg of H2O. In another analytical method, the second sample of 2.52 mg of didemnin-C produced 0.254 mg of NH3. The molar mass of didemnin-C was found to be 1014 g x mol -1. What is (a) empirical and (b) molecular formula of didemnin-C? Note: While cytotoxicity, antiviral activity, and immunosuppressant properties of didemnin-C and of its 8 analogs were excellent to very good, these compounds were, unfortunately, dropped from further studies and development at the stage of human trials, as they produced very strong and serious side effects.
