Six new polyoxygenated steroids (1-6) along with clathriol (7) were isolated from the Korean marine sponge Clathria gombawuiensis. Based upon the results of combined spectroscopic analyses, the structures of gombasterols A-F (1-6) were elucidated to be those of highly oxygenated steroids possessing a 3β,4α,6α,7β-tetrahydroxy or equivalent (7β-sodium O-sulfonato for 3) substitution pattern and a C-15 keto group as common structural motifs. The relative and absolute configurations of these steroids, including the rare 14β configuration of 1-4, were determined by a combination of NOESY, J-based analyses, the 2-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (MTPA) method, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The absolute configuration of 7 was also assigned by these methods. These compounds moderately enhanced 2-deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]-d-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) in differentiated mouse C2C12 skeletal myoblasts.

Ganorbifates C-I, seven undescribed biosynthetically related polyoxygenated 3,4-seco-27-norlanostanoid congeners, were isolated from the edible mushroom, Ganoderma orbiforme. Ganorbifate C features a unique cyclobutene ring constructed at C19/C11, and both D and E incorporate an unusual cyclopropane ring formed by C-19/C-9 linkage. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were determined by spectroscopic methods and ECD calculations.

During a recent biodiscovery study to identify new α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation inhibitors, we screened 29 Australian marine sponge and ascidian extracts in an MS binding assay. This resulted in an extract from the ascidian showing activity toward α-syn. The bioassay and MS guided isolation process led to the identification of one new polyoxygenated sterol sulfate, sycosterol A ().

Chaga mushroom, Inonotus obliquus, was used as food and nutrient food and traditional herbs in Russia, China and Japan, with anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Chemical investigations of the fruiting bodies of Chaga were carried to uncover the bioactive metabolites. As a result, seven undescribed lanostane-type triterpenoids, namely inonotusols H-N, were isolated, and all lanostanoids remarkably inhibited NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.
