title: Starfish saponins, part 49. New cytotoxic steroidal glycosides from the starfish Fromia monilis.
abstract: Nine new cytotoxic steroidal glycosides 1-9 have been isolated from the starfish Fromia monilis collected off New Caledonia. Structures of these compounds, which include four mono-(1-4), two di-(5,6), and three glycosides (7-9), were elucidated through spectral interpretation. Monilosides G [7], H [8], and I [9] are the first tri-glycosides to be found among the group of glycosides of polyhydroxilated steroids from starfishes.
