A systematic examination of the Chinese soft coral Dendronephthya sp. resulted in the isolation and characterization of 18 new cembranoid diterpenes, namely, dendronpholides A-R (2-19), along with 11-episinulariolide and an enantiomer of sandensolide. Their structures were determined through extensive spectroscopic (IR, MS, 2D NMR) data analyses and by comparison with those reported in literature. The cytotoxicity of several compounds against human tumor cell lines was also evaluated.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
