Abstract

Two antitumor macrodiolides, bistheonellides A and B, were isolated from a marine sponge Theonella sp. Bistheonellide A was found to be identical with misakinolide A, whose structure has been revised from the previously proposed monomeric macrolide (3) to the dimeric macrodiolide (1). Similarly, bistheonellide B was deduced to be the related structure 2.
