title: Briarane Diterpenoids Isolated from Octocorals between 2014 and 2016.
abstract: The structures, names, bioactivities, and references of 124 briarane-type natural products, including 66 new metabolites, isolated between 2014 and 2016 are summarized in this review article. All of the briarane diterpenoids mentioned in this review were isolated from octocorals, mainly fromBriareum violacea,Dichotella gemmacea,Ellisella dollfusi,Junceella fragilis,Junceella gemmacea, andPennatula aculeata. Some of these compounds exhibited potential biomedical activities, including anti-inflammatory activity, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells.
