Finally, the unique structure of mycothiazole (457), a disubstituted thiazole isolated from the sponge Spongia mycofijiensis, was established by extensive NMR analysis and exhaustive interpretation of its HREIMS spectrum. This compound was completely active at 50 pg/ml in an... 

Sponges are the most primitive multicellular animals (Metazoa), whose bodies do not yet have true tissues and organs. The phylum Spongia is subdivided into three classes Calcarea, Hexactinellida, and Demospongia. Data on glycolipids exist only for the last class.
