    Abstract:
    Thirty sterols (1-30) were isolated from bioactive fractions of a marine sponge Topsentia sp., of which 16 were new (1, 2, 8, 10-14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, and 30). They were characterized as sterols with 10 different side chains and as having various functionalities including 5alpha,8alpha-epidioxy (1-9), 5alpha,6alpha-epoxy-7-ol (10-15), 5,8-dien-7-one (24-28), 5-en-3beta-ol (29), and 1(10-->6)abeo-5,7,9-triene-3alpha,11alpha-diol (30) units and included polyoxygenated sterols (16-23). One of the key features of these new sterols is the presence of the (24R,25R,27R)-26,27-cyclo-24,27-dimethylcholestane side chain, whose absolute stereochemistry was defined by an acid-catalyzed ring-opening method and by comparison with the four synthetic isomers of known absolute stereochemistry. The occurrence of several known fungal sterols and relevant new sterols in this sponge suggested their possible origin from symbiotic fungi. Selected compounds were tested against a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines and displayed moderate to marginal cytotoxicity.
