title: Biscembranes from the soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum.
abstract: Four novel biscembranes have been isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum, collected at Amami Oshima, two of which showed weak activity against proliferation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Their absolute structures were determined on the basis of the CD spectra.
