5-<i>epi</i>-Sinuleptolide from Soft Corals of the Genus <i>Sinularia</i> Exerts Cytotoxic Effects on Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines via the Inhibition of JAK2/STAT3, AKT, and ERK Activity

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the most lethal malignancies: more than half of patients are diagnosed with a metastatic disease, which is associated with a five-year survival rate of only 3%. 5-<i>epi</i>-Sinuleptolide, a norditerpene isolated from <i>Sinularia</i>...
