(+)-orbasin C * R phorbasin B, R = phorbasin C, R = Ac carvotacetone skeleton The phorbasins are a class of diterpenes isolated from the Australian marine sponge orbas sp. Structurally related to carvotacetone monoterpenes and carvone The phorbasins demonstrate growth inhibitory activity against Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus, as well as selective growth inhibition of several human cancer cell lines (e.g., A549 lung adenocarcinoma, T29 colorectal adenocarcinoma) The relative stereochemistry of all of the phorbasin family members at C11 is undefined, while the absolute stereochemistry was assigned based on analysis of the CD spectra
