A process for treating a host having P388 leukemia which comprises the administration of an effective amount of dolastatin A to said host.
A process for treating a host having P388 leukemia which comprises the administration of an effective amount of dolastatin B to said host.
A process for preparing dolastatins active against P388 leukemia which comprises:
- (a) extracting a ground preparation of the Indian Ocean sea hare Dolabella wth methylene chloride:methanol (1:1) to obtain an extract;
- (b) subjecting said extract to solvent partitioning to obtain an extract showing activity against P388 leukemia;
- (c) chromatographing said active extract and isolating the fractions active against P388 leukemia;
- and,
- (d) rechromatographing said active fraction to obtain further fractions active against P388 leukemia.
