Chemical investigations of the Formosan soft coral Cespitularia hypotentaculata ROXAS led to the isolation of two new verticillane diterpenoids, cespitularins R and S (1, 2), along with seven known compounds (3—9). The structures of these isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with those of reported in literature. The anti-inflammatory activity using RAW 264.7 macrophages of compounds 1—9 were evaluated in vitro.
