Investigation of a cytotoxic chloroform-soluble fraction of the stem of Casearia membranacea (Flacourtiaceae) led to the isolation of five new compounds, including one butenolide, casealactone (1), one chroman, caseamemin (2), two dolabellane diterpenoids, casearimene A (3) and casearimene B (4), one benzoquinol ether, casearinone (5), together with fifteen known compounds, including two amides, N- trans-feruloyltyramine (6) and N- cis-feruloyltyramine (7), six steroids, beta-sitosterol (8), stigmast-5-ene-3beta,7alpha-diol (9), stigmast-5-ene-3beta,7beta-diol (10), stigmastane-3beta,5alpha,6beta-triol (11), beta-sitostenone (12), beta-sitosterol 3- O-beta-glucoside (13), two triterpenoids, squalene (14) and friedelin (15), one lignan, (+/-)-syringaresinol (16), two benzenoids, syringaldehyde (17) and vanillic acid (18), one ester, methyl hexadecanoate (19), and anthraquinone (20), respectively. Among these isolates, 1 showed cytotoxicity against P-388 and HT-29 cancer cell lines in vitro, and 6 and 7 showed cytotoxicity against the P-388 cancer cell line. The structures of these compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic techniques, and the structure of 3 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Five undescribed atranones, namely atranones V-Z (1-5), three undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids, namely stachatranones D-F (7-9), together with four known congeners (6 and 10-12), were obtained from a coral-associated strain of the toxigenic fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Their structures were elucidated via extensive spectroscopic analyses, mainly including the HRESIMS and NMR data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, electronic circular dichroism calculation, and [Mo(OAc)] induced circular dichroism spectrum. The cardiomyocyte protective activity assay revealed that compound 9 significantly ameliorated cold ischemic injury at 24 h post cold ischemia (CI) in a dose-dependent manner.

Five new eudensamane-type sesquiterpene lactones, clasamanes A-E (-), three new dolabellane-type diterpenes, clabellanes A-C (-), and fifteen known compounds (-) were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Taiwanese soft coral spp. The structures of all undescribed components (-) were determined by analysis of IR, mass, NMR, and UV spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of new compounds was determined by using circular dichroism and DP4+ calculations.

LC-MS/MS-based molecular networking annotation coupled H NMR detection allowed the depiction of the soft coral to produce a profile of dolabellane-type diterpenoids. Chromatographic separation of the EtOAc fraction resulted in the isolation of 12 undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids, namely, clavirolides J-U (-) Their structures were characterized by the extensive analysis of the spectroscopic data, including the calculated ECD and X-ray diffraction for the configurational assignments. Clavirolides J-K are characterized by a 1,11- and 5,9-fused tricyclic tetradecane scaffold fused with a α,β-unsaturated-δ-lactone, and clavirolide L possesses a 1,11- and 3,5-fused tricyclic tetradecane scaffold, which extend the dolabellane-type scaffolds.

Five undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids (1-5), together with three related known ones (6-8), were isolated from the soft coral Clavularia viridis. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and NMR calculation with DP4+ probability analysis. The absolute configurations of 1 and 5 were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

The dolabellane-type diterpene dictyoxetane represents a significant challenge to synthetic organic chemistry. Methodology directed towards the total synthesis of naturally occurring (+)-dictyoxetane is reported. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the trans-hydrindane ring system is achieved through chemoselective deoxygenation of the Hajos-Parrish ketone.
