Coelodiol and coeloic acid, ent-isocopalane diterpenes from the Indonesian sponge Coelocarteria cfr. singaporensis

Two novel ent-isocopalane diterpenes, coelodiol (1) and coeloic acid (2), the latter characterized by an unique oxidative degradation of ring A, have been isolated from the Indonesian sponge Coelocarteria cfr. singaporensis. The stereostructure of these metabolites has been established through interpretation of NMR data and application of the exciton chirality CD method. Coelodiol (1) and coeloic acids (2) were found to inhibit the growth of MKN-45 cell line (human gastric adenocarcinoma).
