sarcophyton/melanoma

Three natural cembranoids from the Red Sea soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum namely (1S,2E,4R,6E,8R,11S,12R)-8,12-epoxy-2,6-cembradiene-4,11-diol, (1S,2E,4R,6E,8S,11R,12S)-8,11-epoxy-4,12-epoxy-2,6-cembradiene and (1S,4R,13S)-cembra-2E,7E,11E-trien-4,13-diol were evaluated for their inhibitory effects

Three natural cembranoids from the Red Sea soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum namely sarcophine (1), (+)-7alpha,8beta-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine (2) and sarcophytolide (3) were evaluated for their potential inhibitory effects on growth of mouse melanoma B16F10 cells. Compounds (1) and (2) maximally

Ten biscembranoids (1-10), including the two new compounds sarcophytolides M and N (1 and 2), were isolated from the methanol extract of the Vietnamese soft coral Sarcophyton pauciplicatum. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including one dimensional (1D)- and 2D-NMR,

A new cytotoxic polyhydroxysterol, 23,24-dimethylcholest-16(17)-E-en-3beta,5alpha,6beta,2 0(S)-tetraol (2), together with nine known compounds was isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 showed potent growth
