Abstract
Free sterol fractions from the sea cucumbers Pseudostichopus trachus, Holothuria (Microtele) nobilis, Holothuria scabra, Bathyplotes natans and Trochostoma orientale have been isolated and studied by HPLC, GLC, GLC-MS, and NMR methods. About 80 sterols were found and 69 of these were identified, including-several new and rare ones. Peculiarities of biosynthesis and metabolism of sterols, as well. as a probable evolut ionary influence of the presence of membranolytic oligoglycosides on c ompositions of free sterol fractions in these sea cucumbers, are discu ssed.
