Article Synopsis
  • * The new glycosides feature a common steroid core structure but differ in their sugar components, with ceramasterosides A and B being the first examples from starfish.
  • * Biological tests showed these compounds exhibit antioxidant properties by reducing harmful substances in a model of inflammation, marking a significant discovery for their potential use in mitigating oxidative stress.

Epibrassinolide is a member of brassinosteroids with a polyhydroxysteroid structure similar to steroid hormones of vertebrates. It was shown that EBR decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in different colon cancer cell lines without exerting a cytotoxic effect in epithelial fetal human colon cells. This finding highlighted the potential of epibrassinolide in clinical therapeutic setup.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of polyhydroxysteroid plant hormones; they play important roles in the development and stress resistance of plants. The research on BRs has mainly been carried out in angiosperms, but in ferns-research is still limited to the physiological level and is not in-depth. In this study, gametophytes were used as materials and treated with 10 M brassinolide (BL).

Today, marine natural products are considered one of the main sources of compounds for drug development. Starfish and sea cucumbers are potential sources of natural products of pharmaceutical interest. Among their metabolites, polar steroids, triterpene glycosides, and polar lipids have attracted a great deal of attention; however, studying these compounds by conventional methods is challenging.

Brassinosteroids are polyhydroxysteroids that are involved in different plants' biological functions, such as growth, development and resistance to biotic and external stresses. Because of its low abundance in plants, much effort has been dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of brassinosteroids analogs. Herein, we report the synthesis of brassinosteroid 24-nor-5β-cholane type analogs with 23-benzoate function and 22,23-benzoate groups.
