๐Ÿ†• Scientists discovered a molecule in a sea sponge: Halichondrin B

โฉAfter years of testing, they created a synthetic version: eribulin mesylate.

โฉThis led to Halaven, a drug that targets cancer cells.

๐Ÿ”›Today, the treatment offers hope to metastatic breast cancer patients.

Isnโ€™t it amazing how much the ocean has to offer?

Halaven, a chemotherapy drug for metastatic breast cancer, was made from a molecule found in a sea sponge. After years of research, scientists developed its synthetic version, eribulin mesylate, which now saves lives.

But how?
