Description: Cryptophycin was first isolated from a marine cyanobacterium, Nostoc sp. ATCC 53789 and GSV 224 as a potent fungicide. It belongs to the depsipeptide family and was found later that it bound strongly to the microtubule ends at the vinca-binding domain, and prevented the formation of the mitotic spindle. It exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against drug-resistant human cancer cell lines.
