Abstract

The structures of pubinernoid A (1) and apo-9'-fucoxanthinone (2), isolated from a gorgonian coral Pinnigorgia sp., were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those of known compounds. This is the first report of 1 and 2 from an animal source. Apo-9'-fucoxanthinone (2) displayed a significant inhibitory effect on the release of elastase by human neutrophils, with an IC50 value of 5.75 mu M.
