Page/Page column 2; 6, (2011/06/24)
Latrunculin derivatives are disclosed, as are anti-invasive and cytotoxic uses for latrunculins and latrunculin derivatives, and semisyntheses of latrunculin derivatives. The latrunculins and latrunculin derivatives are useful, for example, in treating cancers.

The chemical behavior of latrunculins A (1) and (B) (Lat A and B) under a variety of reaction conditions is described.The combination of the macrolide, the THP-lactol, and the 2-thiazolidinone rings was found to result on interesting unpredicted chemical transformations.The structures of two new Lats, 6,7-epoxy-Lat A (3) and Lat M (4) isolated from Latrunculia magnifica, are discussed.
Latrunculin, a new 2-thiazolidinone macrolide from the marine sponge latrunculia magnifica

Three new toxins were isolated from the Red Sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica A full structure determination of these toxins, by spectroscopic methods, was aided by an X-ray diffraction analysis of a crystalline derivative (1b) of latrunculin-A. The Latrunculins exhibit a new class of 14 and 16 membered macrolides to which the rare 2-thiazolidinone moiety is attached. A biogenesis of these biologically active compounds is put forward.
