Abstract:
Eight new oxidized lanostane and nor-lanostane derivatives (1-8) along with the previously known penasterol (9) and 24-ethylcholesta-4,24(28)-dien-3-one (10) were isolated from a sponge Penares sp. collected from the Vietnamese waters. Structures of these minor compounds were elucidated by the detailed NMR spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric analyses and by comparison with earlier reported spectroscopic data. A hypothetic scheme of metabolism of the lanostane derivatives in sponges belonging to Penares and Erylus genera was proposed and discussed.
