Abstract:
A detailed chemical study of the extract from the soft coral Stereonephthya bellissima resulted in the isolation and identification of seven new sesquiterpenoids, bellissinanes A-G (1-7), along with four new diterpenes (8-11). Bellissinane A (1) is the third reported nardosinane-type sesquiterpene bearing a 6/5/6 tricyclic system. Bellissinanes C and D (3, 4) contain a phenylethylamine fragment, which is relatively unusual in marine organisms. Bellissinanes E-G (5-7) belong to the rare class of nornardosinane sesquiterpenoids. Structurally uncommon octahydro-1H-indenyl-type and prenyleudesmane-type skeletons were characterized for herpetopanone B (8) and bellissimain A (9), respectively. Bellissinane E (5) exhibited in vivo angiogenesis-promoting activity.
