Antineoplastic agents 300. Isolation and structure of the rare human cancer inhibitory macrocyclic lactones spongistatins 8 and 9

Abstract

Two trace (0.7 and 2.2 × 10–7% yields) potent antineoplastic macrocyclic lactones termed spongistatins 8 (2a) and 9 (2b) have been isolated from the African marine sponge Spirastrella spinispirulifera and found to be very potent inhibitors of glutamate-induced tubulin polymerization.
