Abstract
Cell growth inhibitory (P388 lymphocytic leukemia) fractions from the purple marine sponge Spongia cf. hispida were employed to uncover a new biologically active monogalactosyl monoglyceride designated spongilipid (5a). The structure and absolute configuration of spongilipid was established by X-ray crystallography. Spongilipid specifically inhibited growth of the fecal opportunist Enterococcus faecalis.
