Three new scalarane-based sesterterpenes from the tropical marine sponge strepsichordaia lendenfeldi1

From the dichloromethane extract of the tropical marine sponge Strepsichordaia lendenfeldi collected from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, three new (1, 2, and 9) and seven known (3-8 and 10) scalarane-based sesterterpenes were isolated. All molecular structures were secured by spectroscopic methods, particularly 1D and 2D NMR, and accurate mass measurement.
