Nephthenol shows antiproliferative activity against the cell lines HUVEC and K-562 and for cytotoxicity against the cell line HeLa.

The new cembrane diterpene (3E,11E)-cembra-3,8(19),11,15-tetraene-7alpha-ol (1), Nephthenol (2), and all-trans-peridinin (3) have been isolated from the soft coral Litophyton arboreum. The tetraterpene 3, (+)-7,8-epoxy-7,8-dihydrocembrene C (4), emblide (5), sarcophytoxide (6), sarcoglaucol-16-one (7), guajacophine (8), and 1,4-peroxymuurol-5-ene (9) have been obtained from the soft coral Sarcophyton ehrenbergi. The compounds were characterized primarily by NMR spectroscopy.
