Chemistry
editSYSU-MS001, a specimen of L. sarcophytoides, was collected in the South China Sea, was extracted, and biologists discovered two new cembrane-type diterpenoids, lobophytins and four new prostaglandins from it.[1] Also, the chemical Sarcophytolin D has also been taken from other specimens of the species.
