The pseudopterosins are a group of diterpene glycosides isolated from the Caribbean sea whip, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. The pseudopterosins represent an important structural class of anti-inflammatory and analgesic metabolites, and exhibit superior analgesic activity compared to industrial standards such as indomethacin. In addition, one of the pseudopterosins is currently used in a cosmetic product. Due to the pharmaceutical potential and cosmetic applications, we have been active in the development of biotechnological production methods of the pseudopterosins.
