Abstract

Four undescribed cembranoids, sarcoroseolides A-D (1-4) along with nine reported related cembranoids (5-13) were isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton roseum. The chemical structures of sarcoroseolides A-D were elucidated by extensive 1 D and 2 D NMR as well as HR-ESIMS spectroscopic data. Moreover, the geometric and absolute configurations were assigned by the modified Mosher’s method and/or NOESY experiments. The extract and the isolated metabolites were evaluated for their potential anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities.
