Altohyrtin A (spongistatin 1, cinachyrolide A)[1] is a polyether macrolide originally isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge Hyrtios altum by Kobayashi et al. in 1993,[2] the Indian marine sponge Spongia sp. by Pettit et al. in 1993,[3] and the Japanese marine sponge Cinachyra sp. by Fusetani et al. in 1993.[4] It has potent anti-cancer activity.

Mechanism of action

edit

Altohyrtin A binds to the maytansine site on β-tubulin.[5]

Biosynthesis

edit

While a producer organism for Altohyrtin A has never been isolated in pure culture, the structural features of Altohyrtin A, such as the 'odd-even' rule of methylation, and the abundance of oxygen heterocycles, suggest it is a product of dinoflagellate polyether metabolism.[6] Alternatively, it may be a bacterial natural product.[1]
