RESUMO
Eight new cembranoids (sarcophytembranoids A-H, 1-8) and 10 known terpenoids (9-18) were obtained from the soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum of Ximao Island. Notably, 11, 15, and 16 were obtained from a natural source for the first time. The structures of the new isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, optical rotatory dispersion, and X-ray diffraction experiments. Although the isolated compounds did not show significant activity against the tested tumor cell lines, compounds 3, 7, 8, and 10-15 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities at 10 µM, and compounds 17 and 18 showed moderate protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition activities with the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 22.19 and 11.26 µM, respectively.
RESUMO
A novel diterpenoid, sinunanolobatone A (1), featuring an unprecedented bicyclo[13.1.0]pentadecane carbon framework, along with two new casbane diterpenoids (2 and 3), and five known related ones (4-8) were isolated from the Sanya soft coral Sinularia nanolobata. The structures of the new compounds were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical reactions, or a quantum chemical computation method. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 was proposed. In bioassay, the novel compound 1 showed significant inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.

A novel norditerpenoid, sinusiaetone A (1), featuring an uncommon bicyclo[11.3.0]hexadecane carbon skeleton, and four polyoxygenated cembranoids (2-5) were isolated from the Hainan soft coral Sinularia siaesensis. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction, quantum chemical computational approaches, and/or a modified Mosher's method. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 and its biogenetic relationship with 2-5 were proposed. New compounds 1-3 displayed an interesting inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.
