Note(s): Dictyostatin-1 had previously been isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Spongia sp. and described as a cytotoxic agent to murine and human cancer cells, but its mechanism of activity was unknown. In a routine screening assay used to detect cytotoxic compounds of marine origin, dictyostatin-1 was identified as a highly active component in an extract from a Lithistida sponge and exploration into its pharmacology was pursued.
