Rs. Compagnone et al., 11-deoxyfistularin-3, a new cytotoxic metabolite from the caribbean spongeAplysina fistularis insularis, J NAT PROD, 62(10), 1999, pp. 1443-1444
11-Deoxyfistularin-3 (1), a new bromotyrosine derivative, was isolated amon
g other known compounds such as fistularin-3 (2), aerothionin (3), and 11-o
xoaerothionin (4) from the Caribbean sponge Aplysina fistularis (Aplysinell
idae). The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic analysis and show
ed in vitro activity against the human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7.
