title: New xenicane diterpenoids from the gorgonian Acalycigorgia inermis.
abstract: Eight diterpenes and norditerpenes including five new xenicane metabolites (4--8) have been isolated from the gorgonian Acalycigorgia inermis. The structures of these compounds have been determined by combined spectroscopic analysis. The new compounds exhibited significant cytotoxicity against a human leukemia cell-line.
