肉芝软珊瑚Sarcophyton crassocaule中新的多羟基甾醇的分离

报道了从三亚海域的一种肉芝软珊瑚Sarcophyton crassocaule Mosre中分离得到2个多羟基甾醇1和2. 通过波谱分析等方法测定了它们的化学结构, 化合物1为新化合物, 命名为Sarcrasterol. 化合物2为已知物[24ξ-methyl-colestane-3β,5β,6α,25-tetrol], 但其C24构型未确定, 通过X射线单晶衍射分析测定了其相对构型为24S.

Isolation of New Polyhydroxylated Sterol from Soft Coral Sarcophyton crassocaule Mosre

In our continuing search of discovering bioactive substances from marine organisms, a sample of soft coral Sarcophyton crassocaule Mosre collected off the Sanya bay, China, was investigated. Two polyhydroxylated sterols 1 and 2 were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the sample by chromatography over silica gel. Compound 1, named sarcrasterol, was a new compound, its structure was established as(22R*,24ξ)-methyl-cholest-5-en-3β,22α,25,28-tetraol by spectroscopic methods. Compound 2, a known compound, was first obtained by Kobayashi, however, the relative configuration of C24 has not been determined yet. This paper reports the stereochemistry of compound 2 established as (24S*)-methyl cholest-3β,5β,6α,25-tetraol by means of X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Bioassay results show that compound 2 has a moderate activity against human tumor cell lines MGC-803 with an IC50 value of 23.0 μg/mL.
