Bioactive metabolites from the red sea soft coral Sinularia polydactyla

الملخص EN

A cembranoid diterpene alcohol (1), along with the africane-type squiterpene Δ9(15) –africanene (2), and two aromadendrane-type sesquiterpenoids; 10(14)-aromadendrene (3) and palustrol (4) have been isolated from the organic extract of the soft coral Sinularia polydactyla.

Chemical structures were established on the basis of NMR, MS, IR spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature.

The antibacterial activity of all isolated compounds was evaluated.
