Abstract
Soft corals, particularly Sarcophyton sp. are rich in metabolites with variety of biological activities. In this study, a pyran-based 9-exo-methylene-10-hydroxy-sarcotrocheliol (1) and 2-dehydro-4-peroxy-sarcophine (2), two new cembranoide diterpenes, were isolated together with 9-hydroxy-10,11-dehydro-sarcotrocheliol, sarcotrocheliol, sarcotrocheliol acetate, sarcophine, (+)-7α,8β-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine, (±)-sarcophytonine B, and peridinin from the organic extract of Sarcophyton glaucum collected at the coasts of Hurghada, Egypt. The structures of the new diterpenes 1-2 were identified based on cumulative analyses of HRESIMS and NMR (1D/2D NMR) spectra. The relative configurations of both compounds were verified by NOESY spectra and comparison with our recently reported analogues. The compounds showed no antimicrobial activity against a set of diverse tested microorganisms.
期刊介绍:
A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) is an international scientific journal and a community resource for the emerging field of natural and natural-like products. The journal publishes original research on the isolation (including structure elucidation), bio-chemical synthesis and bioactivities of natural products, their biochemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and their biological activity and innovative developed computational methods for predicting the structure and/or function of natural products. A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) welcomes research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary which address scientific ideas and approaches to generate and understand natural compounds on a molecular level and/or use them to stimulate and manipulate biological processes.
