contents Sclerohumins G-L: Selective cytotoxic diterpenoids featuring a 4/9-fused ring system from the soft coral Sclerophytum humesi.

These compounds feature a 4/9-fused ring system, which was first isolated from the genus Sclerophytum. Moreover, compound 6 possesses a 20-exomethylene moiety, which is uncommon among xeniaphyllane-type diterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated through their spectroscopic analysis, including NMR, HR-ESI-MS, ECD, and DP4+ probability assessments. All isolates were tested for their cytotoxic activities, revealing that compounds 1-5 exhibited selective cytotoxicity in the MIA PaCa-2 cell line with IC values ranging from 9.0 to 26.1 μM and selective index (SI) greater than 3. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these active compounds were further investigated, providing insights into the molecular features that modulate cytotoxic efficacy. Additionally, a plausible biosynthetic pathway of compounds 1-6 was proposed, demonstrating the soft coral Sclerophytum humesi as a rich source of novel natural products.
