Abstract

A human cancer cell line bioassay-directed investigation of the Western Pacific marine sponge Agelas sp. led to isolation of a trace (7.42 x 10-6% yield) cancer cell growth inhibitor (lung NCI-H460 GI50 0.77 μg m-1 to ovary OVCAR-3 GI50 2.8 μg ml-1) designated agelagalastatin 6; it is the first example of a natural product containing a digalactofuranosyl unit.
