Abstract
[GRAPHICS] In the course of our search of new bioactive metabolites from marine invert ebrates, paesslerins A and B, sesquiterpenoids with an unprecedented tricyc lic skeleton, were isolated from the subAntarctic soft coral Alcyonium paes sleri collected at a depth of 200 m near the South Georgia islands, and the ir structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. These compounds show moderate cytotoxicity in preliminary assays.
