Antarctic Marine Metabolites: New Polyhydroxylated Steroidal Glycosides from the Starfish Odontaster validus
Abstract Two new asterosaponins, validosides A and B, were isolated from the butanolic extract of the starfish Odontaster validus and their structures established as (24 S )‐24‐ O ‐[2,4‐di‐ O ‐methyl‐β‐xylopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐α‐arabinofuranosyl]‐5α‐cholestane‐3β,4β,6α,8,15β,24‐hexaol 6‐ O ‐sodium sulfat...

| Summary: | Abstract Two new asterosaponins, validosides A and B, were isolated from the butanolic extract of the starfish Odontaster validus and their structures established as (24 S )‐24‐ O ‐[2,4‐di‐ O ‐methyl‐β‐xylopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐α‐arabinofuranosyl]‐5α‐cholestane‐3β,4β,6α,8,15β,24‐hexaol 6‐ O ‐sodium sulfate ( 1 ) and (24 S )‐24‐ O ‐(3‐ O ‐methyl‐β‐xylopyranosyl)‐5α‐cholestane‐3β,6α,8,15β,24‐pentaol 2′‐ O ‐sodium sulfate ( 2 ) on the basis of extensive spectroscopic investigations and chemical correlations. Validoside A and B are extremely rarely occurring saponins due to the presence of a sulfated group at C‐6 of the aglycone in 1 and at C‐2′ of a pyranose in 2 . The absolute configuration at C‐24 was found to be S by the application of the Trost‐Mosher methodology. |
