Bioactive terpenes from the soft coral Heteroxenia sp. from Mindoro, Philippines.

چکیده
A marine soft coral species of the genus Heteroxenia collected from Mindoro Island, Philippines yielded two cadinene sesquiterpenes, (+)-alpha-muurolene (1) and a novel derivative (+)-6-hydroxy-alpha-muurolene (2), as well as the biologically active polyhydroxysterol, sarcoaldosterol A (3). The structure of the novel compound was unambiguously established on the basis of NMR spectroscopic (1H, 13C, COSY, 1H-detected direct and long range 13C-1H correlations) and mass spectrometric (EIMS) data. All compounds were active against the phytopathogenic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum. The isolated terpenes were also active in the brine shrimp lethality test.

The essential oil extracted from the soft coral of Sinularia sp. have been extracted by soxhlet and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The principal compounds were found to be δ-Cadinene (12.4%), α-terpinene (10.7%) and α-Muurolene (8.3%). It is worth mentioning the presence of sesquiterpenes and diterpenes as main compounds of the essential oil. This is the fi...

Several additional features characterize the genus, including the loss of i1 and m3, rudimentary state of ...
متن کاملBiochemical composition, metabolism, and amino acid transport in planula-larvae of the soft coral Heteroxenia fuscescens.
We determined the monthly percentage of biochemical components in planulae of the soft coral Heteroxenia fuscescens, for a 3-year period, and evaluated the findings in relation to seasonal fluctuations in water temperature. We determined the biochemical profile and metabolic rate of aging planulae and examined the possible absorption of dissolved organic material (DOM) from the water by the pla...
