Abstract

Two new eunicellin-type diterpenoids, litophynols A {1} and B {2}, and the known diterpenoids litophynins E {3}, H {11}, and I monoacetate {12}, were isolated from the mucus secreted by the soft coral Litophyton sp. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectral and single crystal X-ray analyses. These compounds have hemolytic activity.
