From the methanolic extract of Cladiella sp., collected from the Andaman Island, India, a new sesquiterpene, cladidiol ( 2 ), and three known diterpenes, cladiellaperoxide ( 3 ), (6 E )‐2 α ,9 α ‐epoxyeunicella‐6,11(12)‐dien‐3 β ‐ol ( 4 ), and polyanthellin A ( 5 ) were isolated. The structures of these compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic studies. Compound 2 exhibited modest acetylcholinesterase‐inhibition activity, and compounds 3 – 5 showed antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
