The isolation is reported of four new variants of the halichondrin B skeleton, very minor potently bioactive components from the Poecilosclerid sponge Lissodendoryx sp. These compounds were isolated in microgram quantities only from a collection of 1tonne of sponge. The structural elucidations relied heavily on the use of capillary NMR spectroscopy and the application of an HSQC-DEPT overlay technique.
