title: Acanthosterol sulfates A-J: ten new antifungal steroidal sulfates from a marine sponge Acanthodendrilla sp.
abstract: Ten new steroidal sulfates, acanthosterol sulfates A-J (1-10), have been isolated from a marine sponge, Acanthodendrilla sp., collected in western Japan. Acanthosterol sulfates I and J (9 and 10) showed antifungal activity against the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae A364A and its mutants at 0.1 mg/disk.
