Abstract
Separation of two trace cancer cell growth inhibitory (P388 leukemia) fractions from about 1000 kg of wet Gulf of Mexico Bugula neritina (Br yozoa) has led to the isolation of bryostatins 16-18 (2-4). A combinat ion of HRFABMS and high-field (400 MHz) H-1- and C-13-NMR spectral ana lyses were employed to assign the structures. The three new 20-desoxyb ryostatins 16 (2), 17 (3), and 18 (4) showed significant growth inhibi tory activity (P388 ED(50), 2, 9.3 x 10(-3) mu g/ mL, 3, 1.9 x 10(-2) mu g/mL, and 4, 3.3 x 10(-3) mu g/mL) against murine P388 lymphotytic leukemia.
