Erogorgiaene is a bicyclic compound found in marine octocoral Psuedoptergorgia elisabethae. It is used as a intermediate to synthesize pseudopterosin and is made by dehydrogenizing elisabethatriene so that a benezene ring is formed.[1]
Erogorgiaene was found to have potential as a antibiotic against mycobacterium tuberculosis.[2] However limited natural supply and lack of experimentation for human or veteranary consumption keeps it out of any current medication.
