M. Litaudon et al., ISOHOMOHALICHONDRIN-B, A NEW ANTITUMOR POLYETHER MACROLIDE FROM THE NEW-ZEALAND DEEP-WATER SPONGE LISSODENDORYX SP, Tetrahedron letters, 35(50), 1994, pp. 9435-9438
Isohomohalichondrin B, a new structural type in the halichondrin group
, has been isolated from the deep-water New Zealand sponge Lissodendor
yx sp. Like some other members of the halichondrin family isohomohalic
hondrin B exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity against the P388 (murine l
eukaemia) cell line and selective cytotoxicity in the NCI's primary sc
reen.
