It is shown that an unidentified nudibranch of Hawaiian waters contains a 26‐membered macrolide, sphinxolide ((−)‐ 1 ) with potent activity against the KB cell line. The structure of sphinxolide, a 2:1 mixture of ( E / Z )‐isomers at the formamide moiety, is established to be (–)‐ 1 on the basis of extensive NMR and FAB‐MS analysis, in combination with data for the products of mono‐ (→(−)‐ 2 ) and diacetylation (→(+)‐3).
