Abstract
One new cytotoxic steroid, dendronesterone A (1), two new steroids, dendronesterones B and C (2 and 3), and a known steroid (4) were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the Formosan soft coral Dendronephthya gigantea. Two cytotoxic ylangene-type sesquiterpenoids, lemnalol (5) and the new compound cervicol (6), as well as two ylangene-type sesquiterpenoids, isolemnalol (7) (a new compound) and 4-oxo-R-ylangene (8), were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the Formosan soft coral Lemnalia cervicorni. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis, and their cytotoxicity against selected cancer cells was measured in vitro.
Aim of StudyAim of Study
Aim of study is focused on the separation of bioactive substances from marine organisms, the Formosan soft corals Lemnalia cervicorni (Nephtheidae) and Dendronephthya gigantea (Nephtheidae) were studied because the CH2Cl2 extracts showed significant cytotoxicity to A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), HT-29 (human colon adenocarcinoma), and P-388 (mouse lymphocytic leukemia) cell cultures as determined by standard procedures. Bioassay-guided fractionation of CH2Cl2 extracts of D. gigantea resulted in the isolation of one new cytotoxic steroid, dendronesterone A (1), two new steroids, dendronesterones B and C (2 and 3), and a known steroid (4).
