Abstract
Six new cytotoxic dolabellane diterpenes, (1R*,12R*)-dolabella-4(16),7,10-t riene-3,13-dione (1), (1R*,7R*,8S*,12R*)-dolabella-4(16),10-diene-7,8-epoxy - 3,13-dione (3), (1R*),10R*,11S*,12R*)-dolabella-4(16),7-diene10.11-epoxy- 3,13-dione (3), (1R*)-dolabella-4(16),7,11(12)-triene-3,13-dione (4), (1R*, 3R*)-3-hydroxydolabella-4(16),7,11(12)-triene-3,13-dione (5), and (1R*,7R*) -7-hydroperoxydolabella-4(16),8(17),11(12)-triene-3,13-dione (6), have been isolated from the Formosan soft coral Clavularia inflata. The structures o f compounds 1-6 were determined by 1D and 2D spectral analysis, and their c ytotoxicity against selected cancer cells was measured in vitro.
