Cycloartanes from the red alga Galaxaura sp

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2005 Feb;7(1):59-65. doi: 10.1080/10286020310001617138.

Abstract

Six cycloartane triterpenes have been isolated from the red alga Galaxaura sp. The new structures (galaxaurols A-E) were determined to be methyl 3beta-hydroxy-23-oxocycloart-24-en-29-oate (2), methyl 23(E)-3beta-hydroxy-25-methoxycycloart-23-en-29-oate (3), methyl 23(E)-3beta-hydroxycycloarta-23,25-dien-29-oate (4), 23(E)-25-methoxycycloart-23-en-3beta,29-diol (5), and cycloart-24-en-3beta,23alpha,29-triol (6), respectively.
