摘要: Silica gel column chromatography, followed by HPLC purification on the apolar fraction of methanol extract marine sponge Theonella swinhoei, resulted in isolation a library 10 polyhydroxylated steroids which we named theonellasterols B−H (1−7) and conicasterols B-D (8−10). The structures were determined basis extensive spectroscopic data (MS, 1H 13C NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, ROESY) analysis, putative binding mode to nuclear receptors (NRs) has been obtained through docking calculations. Pharmacological structure−activity relationship analysis demonstrate that these natural are potent ligands human pregnane receptor (PXR) modulator farnesoid-X-receptor (FXR). In addition, molecular characterization theonellasterol G allowed identification first FXR PXR ligand so far identified.
