title: New cadinene sesquiterpenoids from the Formosan soft coral Xenia puerto-galerae.
abstract: Six new cadinene sesquiterpenoids, xenitorins A-F (1-6), were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the Formosan soft coral Xenia puerto-galerae. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis, and their cytotoxicity against selected cancer cells was measured in vitro.
