Survey of 2,11-cyclized cembranoids from Caribbean sources.
This review covers the literature published since the report of the first compound to December 2006, for marine natural 2,11-cyclized cembranoids isolated from Caribbean sources, with 30 citations, most of them from 2000 to 2006, referring to compounds isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian octocorals Briareum asbestinum, Briareum polyanthes, and Erithropodiun caribaeorum. The emphasis is on all of these natural compounds isolated to date, with an overview of their biogenetic pathway and relevant biological activity.
