Abstract
A new metabolite 1 has been isolated from the marine soft coral Sarcophyton ehrenbergi along with two known diterpenoids 2 and 3 and cholesterol 4. The structure of 1 was determined by means of detailed spectroscopic analysis and unambiguously confirmed to have the S configuration by the synthesis of both enantiomers using 4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone auxiliaries. (S)- and (R)-1, 3 and some of the synthetic intermediates were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer (A549), prostate cancer (DU145), cervical cancer (HeLa) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines in an in vitro bioassay.
