Lobophytum sarcophytoides explained
Lobophytum sarcophytoides is a soft coral known for two new cembrane-type diterpenoids, lobophytins and four new prostaglandins from a specimen.[1]
Chemistry
SYSU-MS001, a specimen of L. sarcophytoides, was collected in the South China Sea, was extracted, and biologists discovered two new cembrane-type diterpenoids, lobophytins and four new prostaglandins from it. Also, the chemical Sarcophytolin D has also been taken from other specimens of the species. [2]
