One new cembranoid and two new pseudopteranoids were found in the gorgonian coral Pseudopterogorgia acerosa collected in the Bahamas. Similar compounds from this species have been shown to have a variety of biological activities. Isolation of these compounds was performed using a combination of column chromatography and preparative high pressure liquid chromatography. The structural elucidation was performed using extensive spectroscopic analysis including mass spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. In this poster we will discuss the isolation and structural elucidation of the novel compounds.
