“…Next, a steroid 5α,6α-epoxy-24ethylcholesta-8 en-3β,7α-diol (27) was the double bond isomer (at C-7/C-8) of 26, along with four other steroid compounds 5α,8α-epidioxy-24Rethylcholest-6 -en-3β-ol (28), 24-norcholesta-5,22dien-3β-ol (29), 24-methylenecholest-5-en-3β-ol (30), and compound 13 were found from Tethya aurantium. [16] C-5/C-6 Epidemic epoxy steroids were also found from Ircinia echinata including melithasterol A (31), 5α,6α-epoxycholest-8(14)-ene-3β,7α-diol (32), and topsentisterol B5 (33). [17,18] These compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic effects, with IC50 values from 4.53 to 23.99 µg/mL on HepG2, HL-60, KB, LNCaP, LU-1, and MCF-7 cells.…”
