1. Introduction Nature has stocked the seas with a seemingly limitless range of diverse and often highly complex secondary metabolites, which exhibit one or more of a variety of biological properties including cytotox-icity, neurotoxicity, antiviral, and antifungal activ-ity. 1 This review focuses on chemical efforts directed toward the total synthesis of a specific subset of biologically active marine natural products—namely those compounds which possess a macrocyclic lactone moiety, ie the marine macrolides. 2, 3 The literature is surveyed from the onset of the subject, in the early 1980s, until the close of 1994. The topical nature of this field of chemical research may be illustrated by reference to the spongistatins, a group of nine extremely potentcytotoxic marine macrolides which have recently been isolated from an Eastern Indian Ocean sponge of the genus Spon-gier (spongistatins 1-3 (1-3 in Figure 1)), and from the Southwest African marine sponge Spirastrella spinispirulifera (spongistatins 4-9 (4-9)). 4 In ad-dition, some presumably identical compounds, the altohyrtins AC (1, 2, and 10) and5-desacetylalto-hyrtin A (3), have been isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge Hyrtios altum, 5and a compound named cinachyrolide A (assumed to be identical to spongistatin 4) has been isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Cinachyra. 6 The spongistatins represent some of the most potent substances pres-ently known against a subset of highly chemoresistant tumor typesin the US NCI panel of 60 human f We dedicate this review to Professor David A.
