09/01/1981 - "An aqueous extract of the Gulf of California Geodia mesotriaena von Lendenfeld (Porifera) has been found to contain two chromoprotein antineoplastic agents designated geodiastatins 1 and 2. The active brownish-black proteins from this siliceous sponge were found to contain major (greater than 1%) amounts of silicon and to inhibit growth of the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia. "
