Two polyhydroxylated steroids from the Chinese soft coral Sinularia microclavata.
Two polyhydroxylated steroids have been isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Sinularia microclavata, and their structures were established as 24-methylenecholestane-1 alpha,3 beta,5 alpha,6 beta-tetrol and 1 alpha,3 beta,5 alpha-trihydroxy-24-methylenecholestan-6-one from spectral evidence and from comparison with two reference compounds, numersterol A and 24-methylenecholestane-1 alpha,3 beta,5 alpha,6 beta, 25-pentol, which were isolated from the soft corals, Simularia numerosa and Sarcophyton glaucum, respectively.
