Abstract
Applying various chromatographic separations, six polyhydroxylated steroids including four new ones, maculasteroids A–D (1–4), were isolated from the Vietnamese starfish Luidia maculata. Their structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of 1D, 2D NMR and HR QTOF mass spectra. The 3β,5,6β,7α,15α,16β-hexol 15-sulfate (1 and 2) and 2β,3β,5,6β,7α,15α,16β-heptol 15-sulfate (3) steroid cores were reported for the first time in polyhydroxylated steroids to date. In addition, the best antiproliferative activity among the isolated compounds was recorded for 5α-cholestane-3β,5,6β,7α,15α,16β,26-heptol (5) on all five cell lines SK-LU-1 (lung carcinoma), HepG2 (hepatocarcinoma), MCF7 (breast carcinoma), LNCaP (prostate carcinoma), and KB (carcinoma in the mouth) and 5α-cholestane-3β,6β,7α,15α,16β,26-hexol (6) on LNCaP and KB cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 10.40 ± 0.38 to 19.91 ± 1.22 µM.
期刊介绍:
STEROIDS is an international research journal devoted to studies on all chemical and biological aspects of steroidal moieties. The journal focuses on both experimental and theoretical studies on the biology, chemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism, molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology of steroids and other molecules that target or regulate steroid receptors. Manuscripts presenting clinical research related to steroids, steroid drug development, comparative endocrinology of steroid hormones, investigations on the mechanism of steroid action and steroid chemistry are all appropriate for submission for peer review. STEROIDS publishes both original research and timely reviews. For details concerning the preparation of manuscripts see Instructions to Authors, which is published in each issue of the journal.
