Abstract
A chemical investigation of the EtOAc fraction from soft coral Clavularia viridis resulted in the isolation of 12 undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids, namely clavirolides W-Z (1-4), clavularols A-H (5-12), and three known analogs (13-15). Their structures were characterized by an extensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including X-ray diffraction and ECD calculations for the assignment of absolute configurations. The structures of 2 and 4-6 are feathered as peroxyl-substituted derivatives, while compounds 7-12 possess additional oxidative cyclization, including epoxide or furan that are rare in the dolabellane family. All these compounds were evaluated for activities on cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory models. Compound 10 exhibited most potential against NO production in the BV2 cell induced by LPS with an IC50 value of 18.3 μM.
期刊介绍:
Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on the research, development and production of drugs from the sea. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information for bioactive compounds. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section.
