“…It has come to a stage where many researchers have isolated interesting compounds but could not reproduce them since identification problems are still not resolved. Generally, their identification is characterized by morphological features such as polyps arranged on the terminal branches only, colour and external form, by the arrangement of sclerites and their DNA barcoding (McFadden et al, 2009;Santhanam, 2020). However, soft corals identification using these methods is quite difficult and the classification is often re-described (McFadden et al, 2014;Imahara et al, 2017).…”

The structure types and bioactivities of secondary metabolites derived from Litophyton arboreum, distributed in Sepanggar Bay, Sabah, Malaysia, were investigated as additional tools for establishing their species identification. As a result, a total of two secondary metabolites (alismol (1) and 10α-methoxy-4β-hydroxy guaian-6-ene (2)) were isolated from Bornean soft coral L. arboreum. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data analysis and the antifungal activities of compounds 1 and 2 were determined. In addition, the compound 2 showed highest antifungal activity against Haliphthoros milfordensis. As a result of comparison with previous literature, significant variations were observed in relation to structure types of secondary metabolites and bioactivities. Information from this study gives additional evidence of chemotaxonomic significance and baseline data for effective selection of suitable lead pharmaceuticals.

“…Members of genus Nephthea are arborescent colonies with branched polyparium, stiff, Polyps arranged on the terminal branches only, with supporting bundle. Sclerites are spindles and unilateral spinose spindles; surface layer of base of stalk also with capstans and derivations of capstans, colour of the colonies include whitish, brownish red, pink, yellow and purple, Zooxanthellae are present [10]. The genus Nephthea includes twelve species namely; N. albida, N. armata, N. bayeri, N. brassica, N. chabrolii, N. columnaris, N. hainansis, N. erecta, N. mollis, N. Pacifica N. sinulata and N. specie.…”

Marine natural products play an important role within the innovation of promising compounds for drug development. The soft coral genus Nephthea considered a prolific source to discover potential drug candidates with biological potentials. This review provides a survey of all metabolites isolated from the genus Nephthea in the current decade, along with chemical structures and biological activities. The current review aimed to compare chemical and biological diversity in genus Nephthea soft corals. We listed 54 compounds including steroids and diterpenes. The steroids are the most abundant compounds of the genus Nephthea (74 %) followed by diterpenes (20%) and miscellaneous compounds (6%). The isolated compounds from genus Nephthea in the current decade have shown different biological activities as cytotoxic against different cancer cell lines (29 compounds), antiinflammatory (13 compounds), antifouling (3 compounds) and antibacterial (2 compounds).
