Two new marine prostanoids, preclavulone lactones I (1) and II (2) were isolated from the Okinawan soft coral, Clavularia viridis. Their structures were determined based on spectroscopic analysis and chemical synthesis from (S)-malic acid. Preclavulone lactones with side chains having absolute configurations opposite to those of mammalian prostanoids could be recognized as key intermediates in biosynthesis of clavulones.
