“…This sea hare is able to modify dietary molecules from brown and red algae and also to de novo biosynthesize peptides and polypropionates, while it may also contain cyanobacterial metabolites [686]. We will summarize the cytotoxic activities of aurisides A and B (312,313), aurilol (314), doliculols A and B (315,316), dolabellin (317), auripyrones A and B (318,319), dolabelides A-D (320-323), aurilide (324), doliculide (325), auristatins (339)(340)(341)(342)(343)(344), and finally, dolastatins (192,(326)(327)(328)(329)(330)(331)(332)(333)(334)(335)(336)(337)(338)(346)(347)(348). In Japan, among the dietary compounds from red algae, the macrolide glycosides aurisides A and B (312,313) and aurilol (314), a polyether bromotriterpene, are cytotoxic to HeLa tumor cell line [687,688].…”
