title: Diterpenoids of Gorgonian Corals: Chemistry and Bioactivity.
abstract: During the past seven years, many complex and structurally unique secondary metabolites have been isolated from gorgonian corals. In this review, 244 diterpenoids isolated from gorgonian corals complete with their structures, names, references, and biological activities are reported. The article covers the literature published during the period from 2008 to 2014 with 95 citations.
