In order to search for new bioactive substances from marine organisms, we have investigated the acetone extracts of the soft coral Sarcophyton ehrenbergi collected at San-Hsian-Tai, Taitong County, Taiwan. Chromatographic fractionation of the extracts of the octocoral S. ehrenbergi led to the isolation of three new cembranoids, (+)-12-ethoxycarbonyl-11Z-sarcophine (1), ehrenbergol A and B (2 and 3). The structures of these isolated metabolites were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analyses. Moreover, metabolites 1-3 were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxicity towards selected cancer cell lines and antiviral activity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV).

A detailed chemical investigation of the Hainan soft coral Lobophytum crassum led to the identification of a class of polyoxygenated cembrane-type macrocyclic diterpenes (1-28), including three new flexible cembranoids, lobophycrasins E-G (2-4), and twenty-five known analogues. Their structures were elucidated by combining extensive spectroscopic data analysis, quantum mechanical-nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR) methods, the modified Mosher's method, X-ray diffraction analysis, and comparison with data reported in the literature. Bioassays revealed that sixteen cembranoids inhibited the proliferation of H1975, MDA-MB231, A549, and H1299 cells.

Here we report a concise and divergent synthesis of scabrolide A and havellockate, representative members of polycyclic marine natural product furano(nor)cembranoids. The synthesis features a highly efficient -- radical cascade. Through the generation of two rings, three C-C bonds, and three contiguous stereocenters in one step, this remarkable transformation not only assembles the bowl-shaped, common 6-5-5 fused ring system from simple building blocks but also precisely installs the functionalities at desired positions and sets the stage for further divergent preparation of both target molecules.

Three new cembranoids (-) and a new casbanoid (), along with three known analogues (-), have been isolated from the soft coral collected off Ximao Island. The structures, including the absolute configurations of new compounds, were established using extensive spectroscopic data analysis, time-dependent density functional theory/electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculations, and the comparison with spectroscopic data of known compounds. In the in vitro bioassay, compounds and exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against human erythroleukemia (HEL) cell lines, with IC values of 37.

The soft-bodied corals of the genera Sarcophyton and Sinularia (Alcyoniidae) are known as a warehouse of casbane and cembranoid diterpenoids with remarkable antitumor effects. Two casbane-type diterpenoids (1, 2) along with four cembrane-type diterpenoids (3-6) were isolated from the diethyl ether soluble fraction of the organic extracts of the Red Sea soft corals Sinularia leptoclados and Sarcophyton glaucum, respectively. The antiproliferative activity of all isolated compounds (1-6) against three hepatocellular carcinoma cells, namely, Huh-7, SNU 499, and HepG2, along with the normal cells EA.

This study was planned to develop a simple high-performance thin-layer chromatography method for qualitative and quantitative estimation of 3-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBBA), β-boswellic acid (BBA), 3-oxo-tirucallic acid (TCA) and serratol (SRT) with HPTLC-ESI-MS/MS for characterization in Boswellia serrata Roxb. oleo gum resin extract. The method was developed with hexane-ethyl acetate-toluene-chloroform-formic acid as mobile phase.
