Abstract The soft coral genus Sinularia. is one of the most widely distributed soft corals. It constitutes a dominant portion of the biomass in the tropical reef environment. Sinularia. elaborates a rich harvest of secondary metabolites including sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, polyhydroxylated steroids, and polyamine compounds. These metabolites were recently shown to possess a range of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities. During the past decade…

Terpenoids of Sinularia soft corals: chemistry and bioactivity
Casbane Diterpenes from Red Sea Coral Sinularia polydactyla.
TLDR
A solvent extract of Sinularia polydactyla resulted in the isolation of three new casbane diterpenes, which were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and confirmed by X-ray analysis.
Hurgadacin: A new steroid from Sinularia polydactyla
Bioactive Cembrane Derivatives from the Indian Ocean Soft Coral, Sinularia kavarattiensis
TLDR
Examination of marine-derived substances for their bioactive properties in a cell-based Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) replicon model and for in vitro anti-inflammatory activity found compound 2 was shown to modulate the immune response in microglial cells and to possess potential anti- inflammation properties by dose-dependently reducing the release of pro- and anti- inflammatory cytokines.
Sesquiterpene constituents from the soft coral Sinularia nanolobata
TLDR
Using various chromatographic separations, four sesquiterpenes, including two new compounds, Nanolobatols A and B, were isolated from the Vietnamese soft coral Sinularia nanolobata, and their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and by comparison with the literature values.
