Abstract
Naamidine A isolated from marine sponges is found to be selective in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells which are dependent upon epidermal growth factor for their growth, while showing acceptably low general cytotoxicity. Such selectivity was established through in vitro and in vivo comparative testing using tumor cells which over express EGF receptor cites. The in vivo tests used nude athymic mice that were implanted with squamous cells carcinoma.
