In this research, the secondary metabolites from a gorgonian Subergorgiasuberosa from the South China Sea and a fungus Aspergillus terreus derived from thegorgonian were isolated and identified. The biological activities of the isolatedcompounds were evaluated.
Investigation on the gorgonian S. suberosa led to the isolation of eighteencompounds (1–18), including tweleve9,11-secosteriods (1–12), one sesquiterpenoids(13), two alkaloids (14–15) and three pregnant steroids (16–18). Among them,compounds1,2an...
