在天然二次代謝物的研究中，本論文從台灣產穗花軟珊瑚Lemnalia flava中得到六個倍半萜類化合物，分別為GN76-9-1 (1)、GN76-10-3 (2)、GN76-12-6-10-1 (3)、GN76-25-1 (4)、GN76-25-5 (5)和GN76-30-5 (6)。其中GN76-9-1 (1)為一個具有ylangene骨架的新化合物。
此外，從台灣產花冠軟珊瑚Efflatounaria tottoni亦獲得一個alcyonolide骨架的雙萜類化合物GN79-11-3 (7)。
另外還有二個屬於germacrane骨架的已知倍半萜類化合物，則是從台灣產軟珊瑚Klyxum simplex中所分離得到，分別是GN82-11-4-2-15 (8)以及GN82-16-5-6-25 (9)。
以上化合物的結構皆是利用有機的光譜分析方法決定，並進行化合物的抗發炎活性試驗與神經細胞保護作用測試，發現化合物 2 對發炎性蛋白 iNOS (誘發型一氧化氮合成酶) 和 COX-2 (環氧酶-2) 有抗發炎活性以及化合物 8 對神經細胞 SH-SY5Y (人骨髓神經腫瘤細胞) 具有保護作用。

In our ongoing research for secondary metabolites from the Formosan soft corals, six sesquiterpenoids namely GN76-9-1 (1), GN76-10-3 (2), GN76-12-6-10-1 (3), GN76-25-1 (4), GN76-25-5 (5), and GN76-30-5 (6) were isolated from Lemnalia flava (GN76). Among these secondary metabolites, compound 1 possessing a ylangene-type skeleton is a new natural product.
Chromatographic separation of the extracts of the Formosan soft coral Efflatounaria tottoni yielded one known compound, GN79-11-3 (7), having an alcyonolide-type structure.
In addition, two known germacrane-type sesquiterpenoids, GN82-11-4-2-15 (8) and GN82-16-5-6-25 (9), were isolated from the extracts of the Formosan soft coral Klyxum simplex (GN82).
The structures of compounds 1 possessing a ylangene-type skeleton is a new natural product.
Chromatographic separation of the extracts of the Formosan soft coral Efflatounaria tottoni yielded one known compound, GN79-11-3 (7), having an alcyonolide-type structure.
In addition, two known germacrane-type sesquiterpenoids, GN82-11-4-2-15 (8) and GN82-16-5-6-25 (9), were isolated from the extracts of the Formosan soft coral Klyxum simplex (GN82).
The structures of compounds 1-9 were elucidated by extensive spectral analyses. The anti-inflammatory and neuro-protective activities of these compounds were measured in vitro. Compound 2 showed more specific inhibition against the increase of the pro-inflammatory iNOS and COX-2 proteins of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Compound 8 also reveals more specific neuro protective activity to human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y.
