title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of soft coral Sarcophyton elegans].
abstract: The studies on the chemical constituents of soft coral Sarcophyton elegans led to the isolation of gorgosterol, batyl alcohol and simumeramide. Their structures were identified on the comprehensive spectral analysis. These compounds were first obtained from the soft coral.
