Diterpenoid and triterpenoid glycosides from .

Two new compounds, including a diterpenoid glycoside () and a triterpenoid glycoside (), along with six known compounds were isolated from . The structures of the new compounds were determined on basis of extensive spectral analysis and chemical method. Compounds - were evaluated for their insulin resistance effect and cytotoxic activity against the A549 and HepG2 cancer cell lines.

Spongian Diterpenes Including One with a Rearranged Skeleton from the Marine Sponge Spongia officinalis.

Five new diterpenes, including an unprecedented 5,5,6,6,5-pentacyclic diterpene, sponalactone (1), two new spongian diterpenes, 17- O-acetylepispongiatriol (2) and 17- O-acetylspongiatriol (3), and two new spongian diterpene artifacts, 15α,16α-dimethoxy-15,16-dihydroepispongiatriol (4) and 15α-ethoxyepispongiatriol-16(15 H)-one (5), were isolated from a South China Sea collection of the marine sponge Spongia officinalis, together with three known analogues (6-8). The structures of the new diterpenes were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations were established on the basis of ECD data.
