Novel acetylenic alcohols were isolated from the known marine sponge Cribrochalina vasculum. These compounds, and derivatives thereof, are useful agents for the treatment of cancers of humans and animals. Also, these compounds and their derivatives can be used as immunosuppressive agents for humans and animals.

Bioactive metabolites from cribrochalina vasculum

This invention relates to novel polyacetylene compositions, a process of producing the compositions and a method for inhibiting tumors utilizing the compositions. More particularly, the compositions are antitumor polyacetylenes which are derived form marine organisms, i.e., the marine sponge Cribrochalina dura.

Novel polyacetylene compositions and their methods of use

This invention relates to antitumor compositions and derivatives thereof, a process of producing the compositions and a method for inhibiting tumors utilizing the compositions. More particularly, the compositions are derived from marine organisms, i.e., marine sponges Teichaxinella morchella and Ptilocaulis walperis.
