The new cyclopropane-containing steroid phrygiasterol (1) and steroid glycoside phrygioside B (2), along with previously known borealoside C (2a) and (20R,24S)-5alpha-cholesta-3beta,6alpha,8,15alpha,24-pentaol (3), have been isolated from the Pacific starfish Hippasteria phrygiana. On the basis of spectroscopic analyses, using 1D and 2D NMR techniques and some chemical transformations, the structures of 1 and 2 have been established as (20R,24R,25R)-24,26-cyclo-5alpha-cholesta-3beta,6alpha,8…

Trofosides A and B and other cytostatic steroid-derived compounds from the far east starfish Trofodiscus über
TLDR
Of three compounds highly toxic in embryos and sea-urchin sperm cells, the polyol with a sulfo group in the steroid core was the most active; two glycosides with monosaccharide chains located at C3 and C24 atoms were less toxic.
Steroid compounds from two pacific starfish of the genus Evasterias
TLDR
Three new steroid glycosides (evasteriosides C, D, and E) along with six known compounds were isolated from two Pacific starfish of the genus Evasterias, along with four known compounds, established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses.
Two New Steroidal Saponins, Hylodoside A and Novaeguinoside Y, from the Starfish Leptasterias Hylodes Reticulata and Culcita Novaeguineae (Juvenile)
New steroid glycosides, hylodoside A (1) and novaeguinoside Y (2), along with previously known polyhydroxylated steroids (3-7) were isolated from the ethanolic extracts of the starfish Leptasterias…
Steroid compounds from pacific starfish Mithrodia clavigera and their toxicity to human melanoma cells
TLDR
A new sulfated polyoxide steroid (20S)-3β,6α,20-trihydroxi-5α-cholest-9(11)-ene 3-sulfate (sodium salt) named mithrotriol was isolated from the Pacific starfish Mithrodia clavigera and minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined for the isolated compounds that demonstrated cytotoxic activity in human melanoma cells.
Two New Sarasinosides from the Sponge Melophlus Sarasinorum
Two new 30-norlanostane-type oligoglycosides (6, 7) along with five known sarasinosides A1 (1), A2 (2), A3 (3), M (4), L (5) were isolated from the ethanol extract of the Australian sponge Melophlus…
Antitumor Profile of Carbon-Bridged Steroids (CBS) and Triterpenoids
TLDR
This review focuses on the rare group of carbon-bridged steroids (CBS) and triterpenoids found in various natural sources such as green, yellow-green, and red algae, marine sponges, soft corals, ascidians, starfish, and other marine invertebrates, to identify possible promising sources for pharmacologists and the pharmaceutical industry.
Biosynthesis of cyclopropane in natural products.
TLDR
Besides the general biosynthetic pathways of the cyclopropane-containing natural products, particular emphasis is placed on the mechanism and engineering of the enzymes required for forming this unique structure motif.
Biological Activities of Sulfated Glycosides from Echinoderms
Chemical Biodiversity and Bioactivities of Saponins in Echinodermata with an Emphasis on Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea)
TLDR
The here presented data revealed that holothurians, holotoxins, cucumariosides, and echinosids are not only the most abundant saponin compounds in various genera of sea cucumbers but that these saponins can also be used as potential chemotaxonomic markers for different sea cucumber species.
Bioactive Steroidal Sulfates from the Ambulakrums of the Pacific Starfish Lysastrosoma anthosticta
TLDR
The chemical structures have been elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, DEPT, COSY-45, HSQC and HMBC) and mass spectrometry.
