Oxygenated Ylangene-Derived Sesquiterpenoids from the Soft Coral Lemnalia philippinensis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical examination of a Taiwanese soft coral Lemnalia philippinensis led to the isolation of three oxygenated ylangene-derived sesquiterpenoids 1-3, including two new metabolites, philippinlins A and B (1 and 2). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic data. Compound 1 was shown to exhibit cytotoxicity against HepG2, MDA-MB231 and A549 cancer cell lines.

Five sesquiterpene-related metabolites (1-5), including two new eremophilane-type compounds, philippinlins C and D (1 and 2) and a 4,5-seconeolemnane philippinlin E (3), were isolated from the organic extract of a Taiwanese soft coral Lemnalia philippinensis. The structures of the new metabolites were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of NMR data with...

One new cytotoxic steroid, dendronesterone A (1), two new steroids, dendronesterones B and C (2 and 3), and a known steroid (4) were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the Formosan soft coral Dendronephthya gigantea. Two cytotoxic ylangene-type sesquiterpenoids, lemnalol (5) and the new compound cervicol (6), as well as two ylangene-type sesquiterpenoids, isolemnalol (7) (a new co...
متن کاملNardosinane sesquiterpenoids from the Formosan soft coral Lemnalia flava.
Four new nardosinane-type sesquiterpenoids, flavalins A-D (1-4), have been isolated from the Formosan soft coral Lemnalia flava. The structures of the new metabolites were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, and the structure of 2 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. A plausible biosynthetic pathway to 1 and 2 is proposed. Compound 1 was found to display dose-dependent inhib...
متن کاملInducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 participate in anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of the natural marine compound lemnalol from Formosan soft coral Lemnalia cervicorni.
Lemnalol (8-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-methylene-decahydro-1,5-cyclo-naphthalen-3-ol) is a natural compound isolated from the marine soft coral Lemnalia cervicorni. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties of lemnalol were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and carrageenan-injected rats, respectively. Our results demonstrate that lem...
متن کاملPaesslerins A and B: novel tricyclic sesquiterpenoids from the soft coral Alcyonium paessleri.
[structure: see text] In the course of our search of new bioactive metabolites from marine invertebrates, paesslerins A and B, sesquiterpenoids with an unprecedented tricyclic skeleton, were isolated from the subAntarctic soft coral Alcyonium paessleri collected at a depth of 200 m near the South Georgia islands, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. These compounds ...
