Halichondrin B is a polyether macrolide originally isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai by Hirata and Uemura in 1986. [1] In the same report, these authors also reported the exquisite anticancer activity of halichondrin B against murine cancer cells both in culture and in in vivo studies. Halichondrin B was highly prioritized for development as a novel anticancer therapeutic by the United States National Cancer Institute [2] and, in 1991, was the original test case for identification of mechanism of action (in this case, tubulin-targeted mitotic inhibitor) by NCI's then-brand-new "60-cell line screen". [3] [4]

Contents

The complete chemical synthesis of halichondrin B was achieved by Yoshito Kishi and colleagues at Harvard University in 1992, [5] an achievement that ultimately enabled the discovery and development of the structurally simplified and pharmaceutically optimized analog eribulin (E7389, ER-086526, NSC-707389). [6] [7] Eribulin was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on November 15, 2010, to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer who have received at least two prior chemotherapy regimens for late-stage disease, including both anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapies. [8] Eribulin is marketed by Eisai Co. under the tradename Halaven.

More recently, another halichondrin B derivative, E7130, was synthesized in collabortaion by Eisai Co. and the Kishi lab, and has entered clinical trials. [9] [10] [11]

Biosynthesis

While a producer organism for Halichondrin B has never been isolated in pure culture, the structural features of Halichondrin B, such as the 'odd-even' rule of methylation, and the abundance of oxygen heterocycles, suggest it is a product of dinoflagellate polyether metabolism [12] In support of this conjecture, the known dinoflagellate toxin okadaic acid was isolated from the same species of sponge. [13] But, halichondrin B is not found in the geographically and relatively phylogenetically close sponges H. panicea or H. japonica which are found in similar tide pools in Japan as Halichondria okadai . [14] In constrast, halichondrins have been reported from geographically and phylogenetically distant sponges to Halichondria okadai , including Axinella sp. [15] and Phakellia carteri , [16] and Lissodendoryx . Aquaculture of the New Zealand sponge Lissodendoryx n. sp. 1 over at least 7 years, distant from its original range (at ~10 m depth nearby Wellington vs its native range ~90 m deep off the Kaikōura Peninsula), established it could produce halichondrin B at a relatively high yield over a timecourse of years, suggesting that halichondrins were being produced by vertically inherited symbionts, rather than being concentrated from a dietary source present in the environment. [17] [18] [19] In fact, the bulk of halichondrin B used by the NCI for its theraputic evaluation, was isolated from New Zealand Lissodendoryx rather than from Halichondria okadai . [19]
