Parathyrsoidins A-D, four new sesquiterpenoids from the soft coral Paralemnalia thyrsoides

Mar Drugs. 2013 Jul 15;11(7):2501-9. doi: 10.3390/md11072501.

Abstract

Four new nardosinane-type sesquiterpenoids, parathyrsoidins A-D (1-4) were isolated from the soft coral Paralemnalia thyrsoides. The structures of parathyrsoidins A-D (1-4) were determined by extensive spectral analysis and their cytotoxicity against selected cancer cell lines as well as antiviral activity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) were evaluated in vitro.
