Six new polyhydroxylated steroids conjugated with taurine, microdiscusols A-F, from the Arctic starfish Asterias microdiscus.
Abstract
Six new polyhydroxylated steroids conjugated with taurine, microdiscusols A-F, were isolated from the alcoholic extract of the Arctic starfish Asterias microdiscus. Three of them have been found to have additional sulfate groups in tetracyclic cores. The structures of new compounds were established by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS techniques. The found steroid taurine conjugates resemble, by their structures, salts of bile acids and alcohols of lower vertebrates.
