title: (Z)-sarcodictyin A, a new highly cytotoxic diterpenoid from the soft coral Bellonella albiflora.
abstract: A new cytotoxic diterpene, (Z)-sarcodictyin A, was isolated from the Japanese soft coral Bellonella albiflora.(1) Its structure was elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR analysis and chemical degradation. (Z)-Sarcodictyin A showed strong cytotoxicity against HeLa human cervix cells.
