Aa. Kicha et al., NOVEL POLYHYDROXYSTEROIDAL GLYCOSIDE FROM THE STARFISH LEPTASTERIAS-POLARIS-ACERVATA, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(6), 1995, pp. 1125-1126
Leptasteroside L ((24R)-29-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-24-ethyl-5 alpha-
cholestane-3 beta,5,6 beta,8,15 alpha,29-hexaol), a novel polyhydroxys
teroidal glycoside, was isolated from the starfish Leptasterias polari
s acervata and characterized. Deoxyguanosine, thymidine, deoxyadenosin
e, tryptophan, and tyramine were isolated from the extracts.
