چکیده
The new cembrane diterpenes leptodienone A (2) and leptodienone B (3) and the known compounds lopholide, lophodiol B, lophodione, and lophotoxin (1) have been isolated from the gorgonian Leptogorgia laxa collected in the Gulf of California. The structures of the new metabolites have been established by spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the new compounds has been tested against three human tumor cell lines.

Strategies for the total synthesis of C2-C11 cyclized cembranoids.
The C2-C11 cyclized cembranoids, which include the eunicellins (also known as the cladiellins), briarellins, asbestinins, and sarcodictyins, are secondary metabolites isolated from gorgonian octocorals and soft corals. An unusual oxatricyclic ring system containing a hydroisobenzofuran and an oxonene unit with stereogenic centers residing at C1-3, 9, 10, and 14 is common to the eunicellins, bri...
متن کاملTwo new cembrane-based diterpenoids from the marine soft coral Sinularia crassa.
Two new cembrane diterpenes, sicrassarines A and B, were isolated from the Taiwanese soft coral Sinularia crassa. The structures of the new metabolites were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, particularly mass spectroscopy and 2D NMR (¹H--¹H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY) spectroscopy.
متن کاملNew Lobane and Cembrane Diterpenes from Two Comorian Soft Corals
Preliminary biological investigation of a collection of Comorian soft corals resulted in the selection of two specimens, one of Sarcophyton and the other of Lobophytum, on the basis of their toxicity on larvae of the brine shrimp (Artemia salina) and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, respectively. Bioassay-guided fractionations provided a known antitumor promoter cembrane diterpenoid, (+)-sar...

Two new 15-hydroxycembranoid diterpenes, 2β-hydroxy-7β,8α-epoxynephthenol (1) and 2β-hydroxy-11α,12β-epoxynephthenol (2), were isolated from extracts of the octocoral Nephthea columnaris along with a new natural cembrane, epoxynephthenol (3) and a known sterol, nephalsterol A (4). The structures of cembranes 1-3 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and comparison of the spectroscopic data w...
متن کاملLeptogorgia christiae (Octocorallia: Gorgoniidae) a new shallow water gorgonian from Pacific Panama
Leptogorgia christiae is a rarely collected new species found at 15–30 m depth at Roca Hacha, a rocky outcrop near Coiba Island characterized by its high diversity of octocorals. The branching pattern and combination of asymmetric blunt spindles, abundance of capstans, and a low occurrence of acute spindles are distinct characteristics of the new taxon. The new species is described, illustrated...
