Abstract: Anew glycoside, cervicoside, was isolated from the soft coral Sinularia cervicornis Tix Dur., collected from the bay of Sanya, Hainan Island. Its chemical structure was determined by spectroscopic methods as hexadecanyl 1-O-β-D-arabinopyranosyloxy (1→4) [-β-D-arabinopyranosyloxy(1→4)]-β-D-arabinopyranoside. Cervicoside(1) exhibited cytotoxicity against human SKMG 4, Hep G2 and CNE2 cell in vitro.

Key words: Soft coral, Sinularia cervicornis Tix Dur, Glycoside, Cytotoxicity
