The marine natural product 16-deacetoxy-12-epi-scalarafuranacetate, isolated from Spongua officinalis , was synthesized in 18 linear steps, starting from (-)-sclareol, with high stereoselectivity and an overall yield of 6.1%. The intermediate 16-deacetoxy-12-epi-scalarafuran could be easily transformed into a series of natural scalarane sesterterpenoids in a few steps.

Scalarane sesterterpenoids emerged as interesting bioactive natural products which were isolated extensively from marine sponges and shell-less mollusks. Some representatives were also reported recently from superior plants. Many scalarane sesterterpenoids displayed a wide spectrum of valuable properties, such as antifeedant, antimicrobial, antifungal, antitubercular, antitumor, anti-HIV properties, cytotoxicity and stimulation of nerve growth factor synthesis, as well as anti-inflammatory activity.

Two new scalarane-type sesterterpenes, hyrtioscalaranes A and B, were isolated from the organic extract of the Demosponge through extensive chromatographic purification. Hyrtioscalarane A exhibited significantly greater attenuation property against cyclooxygense-2 (IC 0.83 mM) than that displayed by hyrtioscalarane B (IC 0.

12-Deacetyl-12--scalaradial, a scalarane sesterterpenoid from a marine sponge , has been reported to possess cytotoxic activity on HepG2, MCF-7, and HCT-116 cells. However, there is no research to indicate that 12-deacetyl-12--scalaradial exhibited anticancer effect on cervical cancer HeLa cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the anticancer activity of 12-deacetyl-12--scalaradial against HeLa cells and to explore the mechanism.

Two new scalarane sesterterpenoids, 12β-(3'β-hydroxybutanoyloxy)-20,24-dimethyl-24-oxo-scalara-16-en-25-al (1) and 12β-(3'β-hydroxypentanoyloxy)-20,24-dimethyl-24-oxo-scalara-16-en-25-al (2), along with one known tetraprenyltoluquinol-related metabolite (3), were isolated from the sponge Carteriospongia sp. In leukemia Molt 4 cells, 1 at 0.0625 μg/mL (125 nM) triggered mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) disruption and apoptosis showing more potent effect than 2 and 3.
