摘要: Three unusual new steroid thioesters, parathiosteroids A−C (1a−3a), were isolated from the 2-propanol extract of soft coral Paragorgia sp. collected in Madagascar. Their structures, determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis, confirmed synthesis and represent first isolation natural steroids bearing a C22 thioester their side chain. These compounds displayed cytotoxicity against panel three human tumor cell lines at micromolar level. The preparation several analogues revealed structure/activity relationships this type steroids, for example, that XCH2CH2NHCOCH3 moiety (X = S, O, NH) chain is essential antiproliferative activity, low degree oxidation A-ring results higher bioactivity. products could be biosynthetic intermediates degradation pathway involving activation with CoA β-oxidations.
