X-ray diffraction studies of crystals from samples of bimolane synthesized in China and in the United States showed that the crystals consist of the related compound ICRF-154. Analysis of the results of biological tests did not show any significant differences between the anticancer activity of bimolane and ICRF-154. It appears that the anticancer activity of bimolane is due to ICRF-154.
