title: Stereochemical determination of dictyostatin, a novel microtubule-stabilising macrolide from the marine sponge Corallistidae sp.
abstract: The relative stereochemistry of the 22-membered marine macrolide dictyostatin, a Taxol-like antimitotic agent, was determined based on a combination of extensive high field NMR studies, including J-based configuration analysis, and molecular modelling.
