摘要:
The production of discorhabdins in vivo by preparations of the marine sponge Latrunculia sp. B has been investigated. Slices of sponge tissue in an artificial medium were shown to effect the incorporation of radioactivity from [U-C-14]-L-phenylalanine into discorhabdin B [2], the principal cytotoxic metabolite produced by this organism. Additional experiments have shown that synthesis of this discorhabdin does nor require metabolic cooperation of symbiotic microorganisms.
