We have explored the diversity of secondary metabolites produced by cellular slime molds to examine the possible use of such cellular slime molds as a resource for novel drug development. A new aromatic amide, brefelamide (1), was isolated from methanol extracts of the fruiting bodies of Dictyostelium brefeldianum and D. giganteum. The structure of 1 was determined by spectral means including EIMS and H-1 and C-13 NMR. The total synthesis of 1 was carried out to confirm the structure and obtain sufficient samples for performing biological evaluation. Interestingly, compound 1 inhibited the cellular proliferation of 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells.
