New Diterpenes and Diterpene Glycosides with Antibacterial Activity from Soft Coral Lemnalia bournei.

ABSTRACT: Five new biflorane-type diterpenoids, biofloranates E-I (1-5), and two new bicyclic diterpene glycosides, lemnaboursides H-I (6-7), along with the known lemnabourside, were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Lemnalia bournei. Their chemical structures and stereochemistry were determined based on extensive spectroscopic methods, including time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) ECD calculations, as well as a comparison of them with the reported values. The antibacterial activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated against five pathogenic bacteria, and all of these diterpenes and diterpene glycosides showed antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, with MICs ranging from 4 to 64 µg/
