針對台灣東沙群礁所採集的肉質葉形軟珊瑚Lobophytum sarcophytoides所具有的化學成分研究中，共分離出五個新的天然化合物1–5，其中四個為cembrane-type diterpenoids類化合物Sarcophytolins A–D (1–4)，一個為 polyhydroxylated steroids 類化合物23, 24-Dimethyl-cholesta-5, 16-diene-3β, 20α-diol (5)及五個已知化合物 6–10。所有化合物的化學構造均由光譜數據的分析(IR, MS, 1D、2D NMR)和比對文獻上已知化合物的光譜資料而決定。化合物5經由X-ray晶體繞射來證明其化合物之結構。
將化合物1–10進行癌細胞株的細胞毒殺測試。結果顯示化合物 8, 9和 10 對人類乳癌細胞(MCF-7)具有中等的抑制效果，而化合物 6 和 8 對人類結直腸腫瘤細胞(DLD-1)具有良好的細胞毒殺活性。將化合物1–10進行抗發炎活性試驗，結果發現化合物1, 2, 4 , 6 和10在濃度為10 μM 下可有效的抑制發炎蛋白質iNOS的表現。

Investigation on the chemical constituents of the EtOH extract of the soft coral Lobophytum sarcophytoides, collected off the coast of Dongsha Atoll, Taiwan, has led to the isolation of ten natural compounds 1–10, including four new cembrane-type diterpenoids, Sarcophytolins A–D (1–4) and one new polyhydroxylated steroid 23, 24-Dimethyl-cholesta-5, 16-diene-3β, 20α-diol (5) along with five know compounds 6–10。The structure of compounds 1–10 were established by detailed spectral data analysis (IR, MS, 1D, 2D NMR) and by comparison of the spectral data with those of the related known compounds. The relative stereochemistries of compound 5 was further confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.
The cytotoxicity of compounds 1–10 against the Daoy (human medulloblastoma), Hep-2 (human laryngeal carcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), CCRF-CEM (human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and DLD-1/WiDr (human colon adenocarcinoma) tumor cell lines were determined. Compounds 6, 8, 9, and 10 exhibited moderate cytotoxicities against the tested tumor cells. Furthermore, compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 were found to show significant activity against the accumulation of the pro-inflammatory iNOS protein at 10 μM.
