Anti-inflammatory aromadendrane- and cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids from the South China Sea sponge Acanthella cavernosa.

ABSTRACT: One new aromadendrane-type sesquiterpenoid, namely ximaocavernosin P [(+)-1], and three new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids, namely (+)-maninsigin D [(+)-4], (+)- and (-)-ximaocavernosin Q [(+)- and (-)-5], together with five related known ones [2, 3, (-)-4, 6, and 7], were isolated from the Hainan sponge Acanthella cavernosa. Compounds 4 and 5 were isolated as racemic forms, which were further separated to the corresponding enantiomers [(+)-4/(-)-4 and (+)-5/(-)-5], respectively, by using chiral-phase HPLC. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the reported data. In addition, the absolute configuration of optically pure (
