Holostane glycosides are characteristic metabolites of sea cucumbers, which possess various biological activities. Here, we report the synthesis of two representative congeners, namely, pervicoside B and C, starting from lanosterol with the longest linear sequence of both 34 steps and in 0.3% overall yields. The flexible synthetic approach has enabled us to expeditiously prepare 16 analogues for preliminary studies on the key structural features influencing their antiproliferative activities against tumor cells. A simplified disaccharide is found to be as potent as natural tetrasaccharides, which can be used as a lead for future studies.
