Repeatedly column chromatography was performed for the isolation and purification. The structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectral data （IR, MS, 1 D- and 2D-NMR） analysis by comparing with literature data. A new cembranoid diterpene namely sarcophyolide A （1）, together with 7a, 8β-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine （2） were isolated from this species. The cembranoid diterpenes with 7-1actone could be chemotaxonomic markers of Sarcophyton sp.展开更多
