During our investigation of the biological potential of the New Zealand marine biota, attention was drawn to a bright yellow sponge Lissodendoryx sp.(family Myxillidae, order Poecilosclerida) collected by dredging from deep water (> 100 m) off the Kaikoura Peninsula in 1983. Extracts from this sponge were strongly inhibitory against the murine leukemia cell line P388, a DNA virus (Herpes simplex Type I), and an RNA virus (Polio vaccine virus). Initial studies on the sponge in 1985 established that the active components were stable, and furthermore, crude extracts of this sponge offered significant extensions of life-span in an in vivo murine P388 model (T/C∼ 250%). 1 One strongly bioactive compound, obtained in the initial studies, gave data very reminiscent of those published for the halichondrin series of compounds, 2, 3 although differences were noted which suggested that a new halichondrin had been obtained. Subsequent reextraction of a larger quantity of the sponge (5 kg) gave a crude organic extract (3.8 g) which was subjected to bioassay-directed chromatography to yield three biologically active components, the known halichondrin B (1), homohalichondrin B (2), and a new isomer isohomohalichondrin B (3), as well as several minor components. The characterization of 3 was reported in a preliminary communication. 4 In order to obtain more of these halichondrins and the minor components, a further 200 kg of the Lissodendoryx sp. sponge was obtained by trawling off Kaikoura. This collection was freeze-dried and ground (47 kg) and the extract from a portion (20 kg) subjected to chromatography to yield the three compounds described previously, halichondrin B (1), homohalichondrin B (2), and isohomohalichondrin B (3), together with norhalichondrin B (4) and the new derivatives 5r9.
