Abstract

A new discorhabdin, discorhabdin Q (16,17-dehydrodiscorhabdin B, 1), has been isolated from cytotoxic extracts of the sponge Latrunculia purpurea and numerous collections of Zyzzya massalis, Z. fuliginosa, and Z. spp. The structure was solved by spectroanalytical methods and comparison to known compounds in the series. It is not the principal cytotoxin in any of the extracts examined, yet it is apparently widely distributed.
