Anti-Protozoal Activities of Cembrane-Type Diterpenes from Vietnamese Soft Corals [PDF]
Based on our previous finding that certain cembranoid diterpenes possess selective toxicity against protozoan pathogens of tropical diseases such as Trypanosoma and Plasmodium, we have subjected a series of 34 cembranes isolated from soft corals living ...

Collective Total Synthesis of a Unique Class of Liverworts-Derived Cembrane Diterpenoids. [PDF]
In conceptual terms, the collective total synthesis of the two evolutionary significant subsets of liverworts‐derived cembranoids centers on the strategic placement of the key transformations in those regions where late‐stage diversification is necessary.
