Recent chemical studies on the marine soft corals and terrestrial plants have resulted in the isolation of several novel compounds. The soft corals, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and Cladiella species yielded several novel terpenoids, exhibiting antimicrobial activities. New steroids were isolated from terrestrial fungi, Mucor plumbeus and Coprinus micaceus . Phytochemical studies on the Buxus hyrcana, collected from Iran, have yielded steroidal bases. This review describes the new natural products exhibiting different bioactivities from the aforementioned sources
