title: Chemical constituents of the soft coral Sarcophyton infundibuliforme from the South China Sea.
abstract: One new cembrane diterpenoid, named sarcolactone A (1), along with five known compounds (2-6) were isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton infundibuliforme collected from the South China Sea. The structure of sarcolactone A (1) was elucidated by comprehensive analysis of spectral data, especially 2D-NMR spectra (1H-1H COSY, HMBC and NOESY). All the compounds were evaluated for their brine shrimp lethality and antifouling activities.
