چکیده
This review describes strategies for the chemical synthesis of xenicane diterpenoids and structurally related metabolites. Selected members from the four different subclasses of the Xenia diterpenoid family, the xenicins, xeniolides, xeniaphyllanes and xeniaethers, are presented. The synthetic strategies are discussed with an emphasis on the individual key reactions for the construction of the uncommon nine-membered carbocycle which is the characteristic structural feature of these natural products. Additionally, the putative biosynthetic pathway of xenicanes is illustrated.

Marine Diterpenoids as Potential Anti-Inflammatory Agents
The inflammatory response is a highly regulated process, and its dysregulation can lead to the establishment of chronic inflammation and, in some cases, to death. Inflammation is the cause of several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, multiple sclerosis, and asthma. The search for agents inhibiting inflammation is a great challenge as the inflammatory respons...
متن کاملNew cytotoxic xenia diterpenoids from the Formosan soft coral Xenia umbellata.
Seven new cytotoxic xenicane-type diterpenoids, 9-deoxyxeniloide-E (1), 9-deoxy-7,8-epoxyxeniloide-E (2), xeniolide-G (3), 9-deoxyxenialactol-C (4), xenibecin (5), xeniolide-H (6), and xenitacin (7), were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the Formosan soft coral Xenia umbellata. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis, and their cytotoxicity against sele...
متن کاملBioactivity potential of some marine algae from south of Iran
Algae are composed of a diverse group of various aquatic organisms. Secondary or primary metabolites from these organisms may be potential bioactive compounds of interest for use in the development of new pharmaceutical agents. In this research, four species of marine algae, Ulva lactuca, Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa and Cystoseira myrica, isolated from Persian Gulf coasts were evaluated...
متن کاملNew Cembrane Diterpenoids from a Hainan Soft Coral Sinularia sp
Five new cembrane diterpenoids, named sinuflexibilins A-E (1-5), along with nine other known diterpenoids (6-14), have been isolated from the organic extract of a Hainan soft coral Sinularia sp. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses and by comparison of their spectral data with those of related metabolites. Compound 13, flexibilide, exhibited signific...
متن کاملNew diterpenoids from the aerial parts of Salvia reuterana
The genus Salvia is a valuable origin of structurally diverse terpenoids. In a project directed at structurally interesting bioactive metabolites from Iranian Salvia species, we studied Salvia reuterana. Two new labdane diterpene, 6β,14α-dihydroxy-15-acetoxysclareol (1), and 14α,15- dihydroxy sclareol (2), were isolated from the aerial part of the plant. Their structures were established mainly...
