Abstract

Soft corals belonging to the genus Lobophytum (Alcyoniidae) have been proven to be rich sources of natural terpenes. Many of these terpenes show interesting biological activities. This review reports details of terpenes isolated from Lobophytum soft corals during the period 2004–2014, complete with their structures, names, literatures and biological activities.
