title: Steroids from the Antarctic octocoral Anthomastus bathyproctus.
abstract: Seven new steroids, compounds 1-7, were isolated from the Antarctic octocoral Anthomastus bathyproctus. The structures of the new metabolites have been established by analysis of their spectroscopic data. The in vitro cytotoxicity has been tested against three human tumor cell lines.
