title: Cembranoids from the cultured soft coral Sinularia gibberosa.
abstract: An EtOAc extract of the cultured soft coral Sinularia gibberosa yielded a new cembrane-based diterpenoid, cugibberosene A (1), together with the previously reported three cembranoids (2-4). The structure determination was based on extensive NMR studies. The cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of theseisolated metabolites 1-4 were evaluated in vitro.
