V. Anjaneyulu et al., ISOLATION OF LOBA-8,10,15-TRIENE-13,17,18-TRIOL-17,18-DIACETATE FROM A SOFT CORAL OF LOBOPHYTUM SPECIES OF THE ANDAMAN-AND-NICOBAR ISLANDS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 34(12), 1995, pp. 1071-1073
Isolation and structural elucidation of loba-8,10,15-triene-13,17,18-t
riol-17,18-diacetate (2) and (17E)-(23R,24R)-23,24-dimethylcholesta-5,
17(20)-diene-3 beta,25-diol (4) in addition to known compounds, 15-no
r-13-keto-beta-elemene (1), loba-8,10,13(15)-triene-17,18-diol (3), lo
bosterol (5), deacetyllobosterol (6), (24S)-24-methylcholestane-3 beta
,5 alpha,6 beta,25-tetraol-25-monoacetate (7) and (24S)-24-methylchole
stane-3-beta 5 alpha,6 beta, 25-tetraol (8) from a soft coral of Lobop
hytum species of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are reported. Structu
ral elucidation of the compounds is based on the interpretation of H-1
NMR, C-13 NMR and mass spectral data.
