Mv. Dauria et al., 3 NEW POTENT CYTOTOXIC MACROLIDES CLOSELY-RELATED TO SPHINXOLIDE FROMTHE NEW CALEDONIAN SPONGE NEOSIPHONIA-SUPERSTES, Tetrahedron, 49(38), 1993, pp. 8657-8664
Three new macrolides 2-4 have been isolated with sphinxolide 1 from th
e marine sponge N. superstes collected off New Caledonia. The structur
es of the new compounds were determined by interpretation of NMR spect
ral data as well as by comparison of spectral data with those of 1. Th
ese compounds were highly cytotoxic against various human carcinoma ce
lls.
