4(S)-Chloro-4-deoxygigantetrocin A and 4(S), 18-dichloro-4,18-dideoxyasimilobin were obtained by treating gigantetrocin A with triphenylphosphine and CCl4. The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. The chlorinated compounds show decreased bioactivities in the brine shrimp lethality test and against human tumor cell lines.
