A new sesterterpenoid, phorbaketal derivative, was isolated from the marine sponge Phorbas species. Its planar structures was completely determined from a combination of extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments and MS data, and also the stereochemistry on the chiral centers were established by the ROESY experiment and the comparison with the $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ chemical shifts of the known phorbaketal compounds. This compound 1 moderately showed cytotoxicity effect against hepatoma cancer HepG2 cell.
