Abstract

Nine new metabolites, including one novel naphthoquinone derivative, chabrolonaphthoquinone A (1), four tetraprenyltoluquinol-related metabolites, chabrolohydroxybenzoquinones A−D (25), and four tetraprenyltoluquinone-related compounds, chabrolobenzoquinones A−D (69), were isolated from the organic extract of a Taiwanese soft coral, Nephthea chabrolii. The structures of 19 were elucidated on the basis of spectral data.
