The chemistry of Briareum excavatum, a Formosan gorgonian coral, was investigated. This study has led to the isolation of five novel marine natural products, excavatolides A-E (1-5), together with brianolide (6). The structures of the above compounds were established by spectral and chemical methods. The relative configuration of excavatolide B (2) was further confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Cytotoxicity of these compounds toward various cancer cell lines also is described.
对台湾柳珊瑚Briareum excavatum的化学性质进行了研究。该研究已分离出五种新型海洋天然产物，即掘海绵内酯A - E（1 - 5），以及布氏内酯（6）。上述化合物的结构通过光谱和化学方法确定。掘海绵内酯B（2）的相对构型通过单晶X射线结构分析进一步得到证实。还描述了这些化合物对各种癌细胞系的细胞毒性。
