(a) Heat map of compound library screen including 700 compounds. 10 selected compound classes are highlighted as indicated. Colors indicate grades of effective nematocyst discharge derived from prey capture efficiency as recorded in the primary screen. Grey, grade 3 (prey capture as in control); yellow, grade 2; orange, grade 1; red, grade 0 (full prey capture inhibition). The applied grades are further detailed in methods. Compound classes are indicated with boxes and numbers. Detailed data are given in Supplementary Table S1 online. (b) Average nematocyst discharge grade for tested compound classes applying levels 0–3 obtained from the primary screen (no influence on prey capture equals 3). 1 = pyrazoles, 2 = triazenes, 3 = [2.2]paracyclophanes (orange), 4 = coumarins, 5 = sugars, 6 = (per)fluorinated compounds, 7 = piperazines, 8 = steroids, 9 = azo-compounds, 10 = indole derivatives. NA (not assigned) = compound with no assignment to a certain compound class (grey).
