Cembranoids from a Chinese Collection of the Soft Coral Lobophytum crassum

Ten new cembrane-based diterpenes, locrassumins A–G (1–7), (–)-laevigatol B (8), (–)-isosarcophine (9), and (–)-7R,8S-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophytoxide (10), were isolated from a South China Sea collection of the soft coral Lobophytum crassum, together with eight known analogues (11–18). The structures...
