The Structural Determination of a New Steroidal Metabolite from the Brown Alga Sargassum asperifolium

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: An investigation of the natural products chemistry of the brown alga Sargassum asperifolium from the red sea yielded a new steroidal metabolite, 24-vinyl cholest-4-ene-24-ol-3-one, saringosterone (3), a known steroidal metabolite, 24-vinyl cholest-5-ene-3b,24-diol, saringosterol (4), and known diterpene with a hydroazulene skeleton, dictyone (1). The identification of the isolated metabolites was established mainly by spectral methods and chemical transformation of the dictyone (1) to its acetate (2).
