Abstract
A new undescribed steroid 23,24-epoxy-24-methylchol-5-ene-3β-ol (1), together with two known steroids (24S)-24-methylcholest-5-ene-3β,25-diol (2) and 16-hydroxysarcosterol (3) was extracted from the soft coral Cladiella sp. Their structures were investigated by IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra, while QM-NMR calculations were utilized to ascertain the configuration of compound 1. The potential anti-inflammatory properties of all compounds were assessed. Compound 1 exerted a moderate suppressive effect on LPS-stimulated inflammatory reactions in RAW264.7 macrophage cells, with IC50 value of 32.93 ± 2.32 μM. Compounds 2 and 3 demonstrated weaker inhibitory effects, with IC50 values of 80.05 ± 7.11 and 54.05 ± 2.82 μM, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
