Abstract
Novel lactone compounds from the marine sponge Discodermia dissoluta have been isolated. These compounds and their analogs have been shown to have activity against mammalian cancer cells, and can be used in treating human patients which host cancer cells, including leukemia, melanoma, and breast, colon, CNS, and lung tumors.
