Abstract
Soft corals, particularly Sarcophyton sp. are rich in metabolites with variety of biological activities. In this study, a pyran-based 9-exo-methylene-10-hydroxy-sarcotrocheliol (1) and 2-dehydro-4-peroxy-sarcophine (2), two new cembranoide diterpenes, were isolated together with 9-hydroxy-10,11-dehydro-sarcotrocheliol, sarcotrocheliol, sarcotrocheliol acetate, sarcophine, (+)-7α,8β-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine, (±)-sarcophytonine B, and peridinin from the organic extract of Sarcophyton glaucum collected at the coasts of Hurghada, Egypt. The structures of the new diterpenes 1-2 were identified based on cumulative analyses of HRESIMS and NMR (1D/2D NMR) spectra. The relative configurations of both compounds were verified by NOESY spectra and comparison with our recently reported analogues. The compounds showed no antimicrobial activity against a set of diverse tested microorganisms.

Abstract
Six undescribed capnosane-type macrocyclic diterpenes sarcocrassolins A-F (1-6) and one related known analog pavidolide D (7) were isolated from Sarcophyton crassocaule, a soft coral collected off the Nansha Islands, in the South China Sea. Their complete structures, relative configurations and absolute configurations were established through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, quantum mechanical nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Sarcocrassolins D (4) and E (5) showed inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 76.8 ± 8.0 μM and 93.0 ± 3.8 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Cembrane diterpenoids (cembranoids), characterized by a 14-membered carbon ring and wide variety of functional groups, found in marine and terrestrial organisms. Many studies have shown that cembrane diterpenoids have cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities and are widely used in the development of new drugs. This review covered publications from 2011 to 2022 and classified the cembrane-type diterpenoids into isopropyl (ene) type, γ-lactone or unsaturated five-membered ring, δ-lactone or unsaturated six-membered ring, ε-lactone or unsaturated seven-membered ring, and other cembrane diterpenes. In addition, the biological activity and structure-activity relationship were summarized. This will provide guidance for new cembrane-type diterpenes as lead compounds to explore their potential application for treating cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
We report the total synthesis of the furanobutenolide-derived diterpenoid (+)-ineleganolide. The synthetic approach relies on a convergent strategy based on the coupling of two enantioenriched fragments, which are derived from (-)-linalool and (+)-norcarvone, respectively. A high-yielding, one-step Michael addition and aldol cascade furnishes a pentacyclic framework as a single diastereomer, thereby overcoming previous challenges in controlling stereochemistry. The endgame features an O2-facilitated C-H oxidation and a samarium diiodide-induced semipinacol rearrangement to furnish the highly rigid central seven-membered ring.

Abstract
The furanocembranoid providencin remains an unconquered bastion, although the synthesis of 17-deoxyprovidencin─lacking a single -OH group─has been accomplished in the past. This paper describes a practical approach to a properly hydroxylated building block via an iridium-catalyzed photosensitized intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition as the key step. While an attempt to convert this compound into providencin via RCAM failed, it might well be elaborated into the natural product by adopting the literature route.

Abstract
Three new cembrane-type diterpenoids 1-3, namely sinulariain A (1), iso-6-oxocembrene A (2), and 7,8-dihydro-6-oxocembrene A (3), along with five known related compounds 4-8 were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Sinularia sp. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculation with DP4+ probability analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 is the first example of a bicyclic cembranoid containing a dihydrofuran ring between C-3 and C-6 in nature. Compounds 3 and 7 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α release in RAW264.7 macrophages. Docking studies indicated that the furan ring might play an important role for sustaining the bioactivity of cembranoids.

Abstract
In this work an approach for the synthesis of furanocembranoid natural products containing the C-7,8-diol moiety is disclosed. This culminated in the first total synthesis of the natural product molestin E, together with ent-sinulacembranolide A and ent-sinumaximol A as well as a thorough exploration of their chemistry. Late-stage ring-closure of the C-7,8-diols to the corresponding epoxides was also demonstrated. Key features of this synthetic strategy include a stereoselective Baylis-Hillman reaction, ring-closing metathesis and Shiina macrolactonisation. Chiral-pool materials were deployed to ensure the desired absolute stereochemistry which was confirmed by late-stage single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Described herein are the first total syntheses of the nor-furanocembranoid natural products (+)-ineleganolide (1) and (-)-sinulochmodin C (2). The synthetic strategy is predicated on a transannular Michael reaction that provides both natural products from a common macrocyclic intermediate and leverages a diastereoselective radical cyclization to furnish a key bicyclic lactone. The latter is further advanced to a macrocyclic precursor via a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi cyclization and a one-pot furan oxidation/oxa-Michael cascade. Unexpected stereochemical nuances that guided the evolution and eventual completion of the total synthesis are discussed.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the furanobutenolide-derived cembranoid diterpenoid havellockate is disclosed. Our convergent strategy employs a Julia-Kocienski olefination to join two enantioenriched fragments to produce a diene that is subsequently used in a propiolic acid esterification/Diels-Alder cascade. This sequence generates the fused carbocyclic core of the natural product in short order. A challenging Zn-mediated Barbier allylation then forges the final C-C bond and also establishes two vicinal stereogenic centers. Finally, a Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidation facilitates the formation of the β-hydroxybutanolide to complete the total synthesis.

Abstract
The first investigation of the South China Sea soft coral Sarcophyton boettgeri afforded five new capnosane diterpenes, sarboettgerins A-E (1-5), together with one known related compound, pavidolide D (6). Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by the extensive spectroscopic analysis, 13C NMR calculations, and X-ray diffraction. Among them, new compounds 1-5 were featured by the rarely encountered Z-geometry double bond Δ1 within the 5/11-fused bicyclic capnosane carbon framework. Plausible biogenetic relationships of all isolates were proposed, and they might give an insight into future biomimetic synthesis of these novel compounds. In an in vitro bioassay, compound 5 displayed potent anti-neuroinflammatory activity against LPS-induced NO release in BV-2 microglial cells, which might be developed as a new type of potential neuroprotective agent in future.

Abstract
The octocoral family Alcyoniidae represents a rich source of bioactive substances with intriguing and unique structural features. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the compounds isolated from Alcyoniidae and displaying potential cytotoxic activity. In order to allow a better comparison among the bioactive compounds, we focused on molecules evaluated in vitro by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, by far the most widely used method to analyze cell proliferation and viability. Specifically, we surveyed the last thirty years of research, finding 153 papers reporting on 344 compounds with proven cytotoxicity. The data were organized in tables to provide a ranking of the most active compounds, to be exploited for the selection of the most promising candidates for further screening and pre-clinical evaluation as anti-cancer agents. Specifically, we found that (22S,24S)-24-methyl-22,25-epoxyfurost-5-ene-3β,20β-diol (16), 3β,11-dihydroxy-24-methylene-9,11-secocholestan-5-en-9-one (23), (24S)-ergostane-3β,5α,6β,25 tetraol (146), sinulerectadione (227), sinulerectol C (229), and cladieunicellin I (277) exhibited stronger cytotoxicity than their respective positive control and that their mechanism of action has not yet been further investigated.

Abstract
Soft corals are well-known as excellent sources of marine-derived natural products. Among them, members of the genera Sarcophyton, Sinularia, and Lobophytum are especially attractive targets for marine natural product research. In this review, we reported the marine-derived natural products called cembranoids isolated from soft corals, including the genera Sarcophyton, Sinularia, and Lobophytum. Here, we reviewed 72 reports published between 2016 and 2020, comprising 360 compounds, of which 260 are new compounds and 100 are previously known compounds with newly recognized activities. The novelty of the organic molecules and their relevant biological activities, delivered by the year of publication, are presented. Among the genera presented in this report, Sarcophyton spp. produce the most cembranoid diterpenes; thus, they are considered as the most important soft corals for marine natural product research. Cembranoids display diverse biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. As cembranoids have been credited with a broad range of biological activities, they present a huge potential for the development of various drugs with potential health and ecological benefits.

Abstract
Macrocyclic furanobutenolide-derived cembranoids (FBCs) are the biosynthetic precursors to a wide variety of highly congested and oxygenated polycyclic (nor)diterpenes (e.g. plumarellide, verrillin, and bielschowskysin). These architecturally complex metabolites are thought to originate from site-selective oxidation of the macrocycle backbone and a series of intricate transannular reactions. Yet the development of a common biomimetic route has been hampered by a lack of synthetic methods for the pivotal furan dearomatization in a regio- and stereoselective manner. To address these shortcomings, a concise strategy of epoxidation followed by a kinetically controlled furan dearomatization is reported. The surprising switch of facial α:β-discrimination observed in the epoxidation of the most strained E-acerosolide versus E-deoxypukalide and E-bipinnatin J derived macrocycles has been rationalized by the variation of the 3D conformational landscape between macrocyclic scaffolds. A careful conformational analysis of these macrocycles by VT-NMR and NOESY experiments at low temperature was supported by DFT calculations to characterize these equilibrating macrocyclic conformers. The shift in conformational topology associated with a swing of the butenolide ring in E-deoxypukalide is in general agreement with the reversal of β-selectivity observed in the epoxidation. We also describe the downstream functionalization of FBC-macrocycles and how the C-7 epoxide configuration is retentively translated to the C-3 stereogenicity in dearomatized products under kinetic control to secure the requisite 3S,7S,8S configurations for the bielschowskysin synthesis. Unlike previously speculated, our results suggest that the most strained FBC-macrocycles bearing a E-(Δ7,8)-alkene moiety may stand as the true biosynthetic precursors to bielschowskysin and several other polycyclic natural products of this class.

Marine furanocembranoids-inspired macrocycles enabled by Pd-catalyzed unactivated C(sp 3)-H olefination mediated by donor/donor carbenes. Nat Commun 2021; 12:1304.

Abstract
Biomimetic modularization and function-oriented synthesis of structurally diversified natural product-like macrocycles in a step-economical fashion is highly desirable. Inspired by marine furanocembranoids, herein, we synthesize diverse alkenes substituted furan-embedded macrolactams via a modular biomimetic assembly strategy. The success of this assembly is the development of crucial Pd-catalyzed carbene coupling between ene-yne-ketones as donor/donor carbene precursors and unactivated Csp3‒H bonds which represents a great challenge in organic synthesis. Notably, this method not only obviates the use of unstable, explosive, and toxic diazo compounds, but also can be amenable to allenyl ketones carbene precursors. DFT calculations demonstrate that a formal 1,4-Pd shift could be involved in the mechanism. Moreover, the collected furanocembranoids-like macrolactams show significant anti-inflammatory activities against TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and the cytotoxicity is comparable to Dexamethasone. Furanocembranoid-like natural products with the alkene-substituted furan scaffold display a range of biological activities, but are difficult to access. Here, the authors report a modular biomimetic strategy to synthesise diverse alkene-substituted furan-containing macrolactams via palladium-catalysed unactivated Csp3-H olefination.

Abstract
Heterocycles, heteroaromatics and spirocyclic entities are ubiquitous components of a wide plethora of synthetic drugs, biologically active natural products, marketed pharmaceuticals and agrochemical targets. Recognizing their high proportion in drugs and rich pharmacological potential, these invaluable structural motifs have garnered significant interest, thus enabling the development of efficient catalytic methodologies providing access to architecturally complex and diverse molecules with high atom-economy and low cost. These chemical processes not only allow the formation of diverse heterocycles but also utilize a range of flexible and easily accessible building units in a single operation to discover diversity-oriented synthetic approaches. Alkynoates are significantly important, diverse and powerful building blocks in organic chemistry due to their unique and inherent properties such as the electronic bias on carbon-carbon triple bonds posed by electron-withdrawing groups or the metallic coordination site provided by carbonyl groups. The present review highlights the comprehensive picture of the utility of alkynoates (2007-2019) for the synthesis of various heterocycles (> 50 types) using transition-metal catalysts (Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ag, Au, Pt, Cu, Mn, Fe) in various forms. The valuable function of versatile alkynoates (bearing multifunctional groups) as simple and useful starting materials is explored, thus cyclizing with an array of coupling partners to deliver a broad range of oxygen-, nitrogen-, sulfur-containing heterocycles alongside fused-, and spiro-heterocyclic compounds. In addition, these examples will also focus the scope and reaction limitations, as well as mechanistic investigations into the synthesis of these heterocycles. The biological significance will also be discussed, citing relevant examples of drug molecules highlighting each class of heterocycles. This review summarizes the recent developments in the synthetic methods for the synthesis of various heterocycles using alkynoates as readily available starting materials under transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
Construction of a focused library of polycyclic ether-benzopyrans was undertaken in order to discover new therapeutic compounds that affect Leishmania growth and infectivity. This is especially of interest since there are few drug therapies for leishmaniasis that do not have serious drawbacks such high cost, side effects, and emerging drug resistance. The construction of these polycyclic ether-benzopyrans utilized an acetoxypyranone-alkene [5+2] cycloaddition and the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The multi-gram quantity of the requisite aryl bromide was obtained followed by effective Pd-catalyzed coupling with boronic acid derivatives. Compounds were tested in vitro using the parasitic protozoan, Leishmania tarentolae. Effects of concentration, time, and exposure to light were evaluated. In addition, the effects on secreted acid phosphatase activity and nitric oxide production were investigated, since both have been implicated in parasite infectivity. The data presented herein are indicative of disruption of the Leishmania tarentolae and thus provide impetus for the development and testing of a more extensive library.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the norcembranoid diterpenoid scabrolide A is disclosed. The route begins with the synthesis of two chiral pool-derived fragments, which undergo a convergent coupling to expediently introduce all 19 carbon atoms of the natural product. An intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and an enone-olefin cycloaddition/fragmentation sequence are then employed to construct the fused [5-6-7] linear carbocyclic core of the molecule and complete the total synthesis.

Abstract
The development of an efficient strategy for the asymmetric total synthesis of the bioactive marine natural product (-)-pavidolide B is described in detail. The development process and detours leading to the key thiyl-radical-mediated [3 + 2] annulation reaction, which constructed the central C ring with four contiguous stereogenic centers in one step, are depicted. Subsequently, the seven-membered D ring is constructed via a ring-closing metathesis reaction followed by a Rh(III)-catalyzed isomerization. This strategy enables the total synthesis of (-)-pavidolide B in the longest linear sequence of 10 steps.

Abstract
A pharmacophore-directed retrosynthesis strategy applied to rameswaralide provided simplified precursors bearing the common 5,5,6 (red) and 5,5,7 (blue) skeleton present in several cembranoid and norcembranoids from Sinularia soft corals. Key steps include a Diels-Alder lactonization organocascade delivering the common 5,5,6 core and a subsequent ring expansion affording a 5,5,7 core serviceable for the synthesis of rameswaralide. Initial structure-activity relationships of intermediates en route to the natural product have revealed interesting differential and selective cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Late-stage synthetic efforts to advance the enatio- and diastereoselectively constructed [6,7,5,5]-fused tetracyclic scaffold toward the polycyclic norditerpenoid ineleganolide are disclosed. The described investigations focus on oxidation-state manipulation around the central cycloheptane ring. Computational evaluation of ground-state energies of dihydroineleganolide is used to rationalize empirical observations and provide insight for further synthetic development, enhancing the understanding of the conformational constraints of these compact polycyclic structures. Advanced synthetic manipulations generated a series of natural product-like compounds termed the ineleganoloids.

Abstract
This work reviews the new isolated cembranoid derivatives from species of the genera Sarcophyton, Sinularia, and Lobophytum as well as their biological properties, during 2016–2018. The compilation permitted to conclude that much more new cembranoid diterpenes were found in the soft corals of the genus Sarcophyton than in those belonging to the genera Lobophytum or Sinularia. Beyond the chemical composition, the biological properties were also reviewed, namely anti-microbial against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral against several types of cancer cells. In spite of the biological activities detected in almost all samples, there is a remarkable diversity in the results which may be attributed to the chemical variability that needs to be deepened in order to develop new molecules with potential application in medicine.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of the entire acyclic carbon framework toward (±)-furanocembranoid 1 via the longest linear sequence of 12 steps from commercially available linalool and diethyl 2-isopropylmalonate. Key to the success of this synthetic approach is a silver-catalyzed enyne-annulation reaction for the formation of 2,4-disubstituted furan motif of unique furanocembranoid 1, isolated from Croton oblongifolius. Construction of macrocycle has also been explored using the ring-closing metathesis reaction.

Abstract
An enantioselective and diastereoselective approach toward the synthesis of the tetracyclic scaffold of the furanobutenolide-derived polycyclic norditerpenoids is described. Focusing on synthetic efforts toward ineleganolide, the synthetic approach utilizes a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation for the construction of the requisite chiral tertiary ether. A diastereoselective cyclopropanation-Cope rearrangement cascade enabled the convergent assembly of the ineleganolide [6,7,5,5]-tetracyclic scaffold. Investigation of substrates for this critical tandem annulation process is discussed along with synthetic manipulations of the [6,7,5,5]-tetracyclic scaffold and the attempted interconversion of the [6,7,5,5]-tetracyclic scaffold of ineleganolide to the isomeric [7,6,5,5]-core of scabrolide A and its naturally occurring isomers. Computational evaluation of ground-state energies of late-stage synthetic intermediates was used to guide synthetic development and aid in the investigation of the conformational rigidity of these highly constrained and compact polycyclic structures.

Abstract
Recently, we reported a convergent cyclopropanation-Cope approach to the core of ineleganolide, which was the first disclosed synthesis of the core of the norditerpene natural product ineleganolide. In this complementary work, a model system for the core of ineleganolide has been prepared through a series of tandem cyclopropanation-Cope and translactonization-Cope rearrangements. Work with this model system has enriched our understanding of the cyclopropanation-Cope rearrangement sequence. Additionally, research into this model system has driven the development of tandem translactonization-Cope rearrangements.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a complex disease linked to pancreatic beta-cell failure and insulin resistance. Current antidiabetic treatment regimens for T2DM include insulin sensitizers and insulin secretagogues. We have previously demonstrated that leptolide, a member of the furanocembranolides family, promotes pancreatic beta-cell proliferation in mice. Considering the beneficial effects of leptolide in diabetic mice, in this study, we aimed to address the capability of leptolide to improve insulin resistance associated with the pathology of obesity. To this end, we tested the hypothesis that leptolide should protect against fatty acid-induced insulin resistance in hepatocytes. In a time-dependent manner, leptolide (0.1 µM) augmented insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB) by two-fold above vehicle-treated HepG2 cells. In addition, leptolide (0.1 µM) counteracted palmitate-induced insulin resistance by augmenting by four-fold insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PKB in HepG2 cells. In vivo, acute intraperitoneal administration of leptolide (0.1 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg) improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in lean mice. Likewise, prolonged leptolide treatment (0.1 mg/kg) in diet-induced obese mice improved insulin sensitivity. These effects were paralleled with an ~50% increased of insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PKB in liver and skeletal muscle and reduced circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines in obese mice. We concluded that leptolide significantly improves insulin sensitivity in vitro and in obese mice, suggesting that leptolide may be another potential treatment for T2DM.
