Abstract

Two new sulfated steroidal glycosides, imbricatoside A (I) and imbricatoside B (II), which inhibited cell division of fertilized sea urchin eggs, were isolated from the aq. exts. of whole bodies of the starfish D. imbricata. They contain the same disaccharide chain, i.e., 2,4-di-O-methyl-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-5-O-sulfate-β-D-fucopyranosyl, which is linked to C-24 of 5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,7α,8,15β,24-heptaol and 5α-cholestane-3β,6α,7α,8,15β,24-hexaol aglycons. The exts. also contained 6 new polyhydroxysteroids, to which structures were assigned. (22E,24R)-5α-Cholest-22-ene-3β,6α,8,15β,24-pentaol showed strong antifungal activity and also inhibited cell division of fertilized sea urchin eggs.
