New acetylenic compounds from the stony coral Montipora sp.

Abstract

Six new acetylenic compounds (1-6) with cytotoxic activities against human solid tumor-cell lines (SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15) have been isolated from the stony coral Montipora sp. Structures of the compounds 1-6 wereelucidated based on analysis of the NMR and MS data.
