2 Isolation and Background" Peloruside A was Isolated from the marine sponge Mycale hentscheli (pictured left) by Northcote in The marine sponge Mycale hentscheli, located in Pelorus Sound (pictured below), is also responsible for the production of mycalamide A and pateamine. Peloruside A demonstrated LD50 vaulues in the 6-18 nm range towards several cancer cell lines. Peloruside A is a microtubule stabilizer that binds to a different site than paclitaxel. West, L.
