Abstract
| - Two novel prostanoid-related marine oxylipins, tricycloclavulone (1) and clavubicyclone (2), wereisolated from the Okinawan soft coral Clavularia viridis. The structures of 1, having a tricyclo[5.3.0.01,4]decane ring system, and 2, having a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system, were elucidated onthe basis of spectroscopic analysis. Clavubicyclone showed a moderate growth inhibition activityagainst tumor cells in vitro.
