Abstract

The Western Indian Ocean Palythoa liscia Haddon and Duerden has been found to contain three cell growth (PS) inhibitory proteins with molecular weights ranging from 128,000 to >2×107. The lowest mass protein from this colonial Zoanthiniarian, palystatin 1 (PS, ED50 1.3–5.5×10−4 µg/ml) may be a sub-unit of the two high mass cytotoxic (PS, ED50 0.01 µg/ml) proteins palystatins 2 and 3. Isolation of paly-statins 1–3 was guided by bioassay (PS in vitro) through a sequence of gel permeation chromatographic methods utilizing Sephadex LH-20 to Sepharose 4B.
