Abstract

Chemical investigations on the ethyl acetate extract of the octocoral Capnella imbricata collected from the waters of Taiwan, which led to the isolation of three capnellenes (1–3), including one new metabolite, △9(12)-capnellene-8β,10α,15-triol (1), along with two known metabolites, △9(12)-capnellene-5α,8β,10α-triol (2), and △9(12)-capnellene-8β,10α-diol (3). The structures of the isolated metabolites were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analyses, while the relative stereochemistry of 3 was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for the first time in this study. Compounds 1–3 were evaluated in terms of their anti-inflammatory activity by examining their inhibitory effects on the generation of superoxide anions and the release of elastase by human neutrophils.
