title: Amphidinolides and its related macrolides from marine dinoflagellates.
abstract: This review covers the recent results described in our publications on several new cytotoxic macrolides isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus Amphidinium in addition to an overview of the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, and bioactivity of a series of cytotoxic macrolides, named amphidinolides, reported so far.
