Abstract: The structures, names, bioactivities, and references of 124 briarane-type natural products, including 66 new metabolites, isolated between 2014 and 2016 are summarized in this review article. All of the briarane diterpenoids mentioned in this review were isolated from octocorals, mainly from Briareum violacea, Dichotella gemmacea, Ellisella dollfusi, Junceella fragilis, Junceella gemmacea, and Pennatula aculeata. Some of these compounds exhibited potential biomedical activities, including anti-inflammatory activity, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. Keywords: briarane; octocoral; Briareum; Dichotella; Ellisella; Junceella; Pennatula
1. Introduction Following previous review articles from our research group focused on marine-origin briarane-type natural products [1–5], this review covers the literature from 2014 to January 2017, and describes 124 briarane-related diterpenoids (including 66 new metabolites), most of which are characterized by the presence of a γ-lactone moiety fused to a bicyclo[8.4.0] ring system, obtained from various octocorals (Figure 1), mainly Briareum violacea, Briareum spp. Dichotella gemmacea, Ellisella dollfusi, Junceella fragilis, Junceella gemmacea, and Pennatula aculeata. Many of these compounds exhibited interesting bioactivities in vitro, which might indicate a potential for use in biomedical applications. This survey of briarane-related compounds is presented taxonomically according to genus and species.

5. Conclusions Since briarein A, the first briarane‐type natural product, was prepared from the Caribbean octocoral Briareum asbestinum in 1977 [9], over 600 briarane‐type diterpenoids have been isolated Since briarein A, the first briarane‐type natural product, was prepared from the Caribbean from a wide variety of marine life to date. A natural large portion of these natural compounds been Since briarein A,asbestinum the first in briarane-type product, was prepared frombeen the has Caribbean octocoral Briareum 1977 [9], over 600 briarane‐type diterpenoids have isolated prepared from soft corals belonging to the orders Alcyonacea and Gorgonacea. Compounds of this octocoral asbestinum in life 1977 over 600 briarane-type diterpenoids have been from a Briareum wide variety of marine to [9], date. A large portion of these natural compounds has isolated been type of diterpenoid have been demonstrated to possess various bioactivities in vitro, such as from a wide variety of marine life to date. A large portion of these natural compounds has been prepared from soft corals belonging to the orders Alcyonacea and Gorgonacea. Compounds of this anti‐inflammatory activity, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. For example, prepared soft corals to the orders Alcyonacea and Gorgonacea. Compounds type of from diterpenoid have belonging been demonstrated to possess various bioactivities in vitro, such as of one of the compounds of this type, excavatolide B [13], has been proven to possess extensive thisanti‐inflammatory activity, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. For example, type of diterpenoid have been demonstrated to possess various bioactivities in vitro, such as biomedical bioactivities, such as anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, the attenuation of rheumatoid one of the compounds this type, excavatolide [13], has been proven to possess extensive anti-inflammatory activity,of antibacterial activity, andB cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. For example, arthritis activities, anticancer, and the modulation of the electrophysiological characteristics and biomedical bioactivities, such as anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, the attenuation of rheumatoid one of the compounds of this type, excavatolide B [13], has been proven to possess extensive biomedical calcium homeostasis in atrial myocytes [64–67]. Due to the structural diversity and biomedical arthritis activities, and the analgesic, modulation of attenuation the electrophysiological characteristics and bioactivities, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, the of rheumatoid arthritis activities, bioactivities, there has been little synthetic work on briarane analogues [68,69]. It is interesting to calcium and homeostasis in atrial ofmyocytes [64–67]. Due to characteristics the structural and diversity and homeostasis biomedical in anticancer, the modulation the electrophysiological calcium note that all briaranes reported as having been isolated between 2014 and 2016 were all collected bioactivities, there has been little synthetic work on briarane analogues [68,69]. It is interesting to from octocorals distributed in the Indo‐Pacific Ocean, particularly from the South China Sea. note that all briaranes reported as having been isolated between 2014 and 2016 were all collected from octocorals distributed in the Indo‐Pacific Ocean, particularly from the South China Sea.
