Abstract
Chemical studies on the non polar fraction of the methanolic extract of Pse udopterogorgia elisabethae Bayer collected from the Florida Keys has yielde d 12-acetoxypseudopterolide (1), a new diterpene of the pseudopterane serie s. The structure was established through spectroscopic analysis. Compound ( 1) was shown to exhibit modest anti-cancer activity against a human prostat e cancer cell line (LnCap).
