Three new polyoxygenated briarane diterpenoids, briarenols C-E (<b>1</b>-<b>3</b>), were isolated from the octocoral <i>Briareum excavatum</i>. The structures of briaranes <b>1</b>-<b>3</b> were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data, and the methylenecyclohexane ring in <b>1</b> was found to exist in a twisted boat conformation. Briarenol D (<b>2</b>) displayed an inhibitory effect on the release of elastase by human neutrophils with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 4.65 μM. Briarenol E ...[more]
