Two new verticillane-type diterpenoids from the formosan soft coral Cespitularia hypotentaculata.
Chemical investigations of the Formosan soft coral Cespitularia hypotentaculata ROXAS led to the isolation of two new verticillane diterpenoids, cespitularins R and S (1, 2), along with seven known compounds (3-9). The structures of these isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with those of reported in literature. The anti-inflammatory activity using RAW 264.7 macrophages of compounds 1-9 were evaluated in vitro.
