Cephalodiscus gilchristi Ridewood, 1908[1] |
Cephalodiscus gilchristi is a sessile hemichordate belonging to the order Cephalodiscida.[2] It is found in South Africa in 1908.
Parasites
The parasitic copepod Zanclopus cephalodisci has been found in the intestines of Cephalodiscus gilchristi.[3]
Isolated molecules
Cephalostatin-1,[4] is a steroidic 13-ringed pyrazine with the empirical formula C54H74N2O10 that was isolated from Cephalodiscus gilchristi. It is a potent anti-cancer agent that causes cell death in the subnanomolar to picomolar ranges via an atypical apoptosis pathway.[5]
