Thirteen new polyhydroxysterols (1-5, 7-12, 14, 15) and two known polyhydroxysterols (6, 13) were isolated from the brine shrimp active fraction of the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis. The structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical derivatization. These compounds displayed considerable cytotoxicity against a small panel of human solid tumor cell lines. These compounds were also evaluated for antibacterial activity against 20 clinically isolated strains. Most of the compounds showed weak antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes 308A, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1771, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1771M.

Two new sulfated saponins designated as certonardosides P2 and I3 (1 and 2) were isolated from the brine shrimp active fraction of the MeOH extract of the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis. The structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were tested for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15), and compound 1 displayed significant cytotoxicity against the SK-MEL-2 skin cancer cell.

Twelve new (1-7, 9-13) polyhydroxysterols and two new saponins (14 and 15) were isolated from the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis by activity-guided fractionation. Compounds 1-7 are rare examples of 15-keto steroids from starfish. The side chain of compound 11 was also unprecedented in nature.

Eleven new polyhydroxysterols (1-11) and eight new saponins (12-19) were isolated from the brine shrimp active fraction of the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis. The structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical derivatization. The structural variations of these compounds are due to the hydroxylation pattern of the sterol nucleus, the functionalization of the side chain, or the nature and location of the saccharide moiety.

Four new saponins, designated as certonardosides K-N (1-3, 5), were isolated, along with culcitoside C(6) (4), from the brine shrimp active fraction of the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis. The structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical derivatization. These compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity.
