Nat Prod Res. 2011 Sep;25(16):1505-11. doi: 10.1080/14786410903211235. Epub 2011 Jul 11.

Abstract

Two new oxygenated sterols, 3β,24(S)-dihydroxycholesta-5,25-dien-7-one and 3β,25-dihydroxycholesta-5,23-dien-7-one, were isolated from the marine bryozoan Bugula neritina. Their chemical structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Both compounds exhibited cytotoxicity to three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HT-29 and NCI-H460), with IC₅₀ values between 22.58 and 53.41 µg mL⁻¹.
