Ophirapstanol trisulfate [1], a new steroid trisulfate related to soko
trasterol trisulfate was isolated from a deep water marine sponge Tops
entia ophiraphidites. Compound 1 exhibited significant inhibition in t
he guanosine diphosphate/G-protein RAS exchange assay. The structure e
lucidation of 1 and ophirapstanol [2] by nmr spectroscopy is described
.
