Abstract Two new cytotoxic antitumor diterpenoids of the cembrane class, named 14-deoxycrassin (3) and pseudoplexaurol (4), have been isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian octocoralPseudoplexaura porosa. The structure of lactone3, possessing the infrequently encountered α-methylene-δ-lactone ring, has been established from spectral and chemical data and that of alcohol4 has been established from spectral data.
