Marine Natural Products from New Caledonia—A Review

“…Octocorals, which includes alcyonarians, gorgonians and pennatularians, are chemically characterized by terpenes, oxylipins such as prostaglandins and prostanoids, sterols and some aromatic derivatives [ 133 ]. These compounds have promising pharmacological value ( Table 4 ).…”
