Chemical investigation of MeOH extract of a South China Sea sponge Cacospongia sp. yielded 15 terpenoids belonging to three different skeleton-types, including the unusual C 17  γ -lactone norditerpenoids ( 1 ⁻ 3 ), the rare C 21 pyridine meroterpenoid ( 7 ), and the notable C 25 manoalide-type sesterterpenoids ( 4 ⁻ 6 , 8 ⁻ 10 ). Compounds 1 ⁻ 5 were initially obtained as enantiomers, and were further separated to be optically pure compounds ( 1a , 1b , 2a , 2b , 3a-r , 3b-r , 4a , 4b , 5a and 5b ) by chiral HPLC, with a LiAlH₄ reduction aid for 3 . Compounds 3a / 3b (a pair of inseparable enantiomers), 4a , 5a , 6 , and 7 were identified as new compounds, while 1a / 1b and 2a / 2b were obtained from a natural source and were determined for their absolute configurations for the first time. This is also the first time to encounter enantiomers of the well-known manoalide-type sesterterpenoids from nature. The structures with absolute configurations of the new compounds were unambiguously determined by comprehensive methods including HR-ESI-MS and NMR data analysis, optical rotation comparison, experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and Mo₂(OAc)₄ induced circular dichroism (ICD) methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolates against selected human tumor cell lines was evaluated, however, the tested compounds showed no activity against selected cell lines.
