Xeniaphyllane and Xeniolide Diterpenes from the Deep-Sea Soft Coral Paragorgia arborea

As exploration of ocean depths >1000 m is only possible by expensive remotely operated underwater vehicles, deep-sea invertebrates represent a largely untapped source of marine metabolites for potential applications in medicine. Our current study aims to investigate these deep-sea invertebrates in Ireland to discover new biological and chemical diversity. Here, we investigate the bubble gum coral,
