Abstract
Re-examination of a Western Indian Ocean worm Cephalodiscus gilchristi has led to discovery of cephalostatins 12 and 13. Cephalostatin 12 (2) proved to be the first example of a symmetrical disteroidal alkaloid. Both new cephalostatins significantly inhibited growth of animal and human cancer cell lines.
