Further Highly Hydroxylated Steroids from the Vietnamese Starfish Archaster typicus

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2016;64(10):1523-1527. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c16-00445.

Abstract

Eight highly hydroxylated steroids (1-8), including three new compounds as sodium salts of (24S)-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,5,6α,7β,8,14,15α,24-nonaol 6-sulfate (1), (24E)-5α-cholest-24-ene-26-yde-3β,6α,8,14,15α-pentaol 15-sulfate (2), and 5α-cholest-3β,6α,8,14,15α,24,25,26-octaol 15-sulfate (3), were isolated and elucidated from the methanol extract of the Vietnamese starfish Archaster typicus. The structure elucidation was done by spectroscopic methods including one and two dimensional (1D-, 2D-)NMR and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR)-MS. The isolated compounds can be used as chemical markers for taxonomic identification of the starfish A. typicus.
