In troduction
S teroida l g ly cosides are the predom inan t metabo-
lites of starfish and are responsible fo r their genera l tox-
icity
[ 1, 2]
. A ccord ing to the chem ica l structures, they
are div ided into threema in groups:aste rosaponins, cy-
clic steroidal g lycosides, and g lycosides of po lyhydrox-
y la ted steroids. M embers of the first g roup are usually
su lfated ste ro idal penta-or hexag lycosides having a
△9(11)-3β , 6αdioxy steroida l ag ly con w ith a su lfa te
group attached a tC-3 and the o ligosaccharidemo ie ty at
C-6[ 3] . These saponinsw ere repo rted to exhibit various
biological ac tiv ities, including cy to toxic, hemoly tic,
antibacte ria l, antiviral, and antifungal e ffec ts[ 4] . S tar-
fishA. amurensis has been used as traditionalmedicine
for the treatment o f stomach disease fo r a long time. It
is also eaten by the fishe rmen living in sou th China. It
is believed to be a wholesome food. Previous stud ies
revea led an an titumo r acidic po ly saccharide (NRP-1)
from the sta rfish A. amurensis
[ 5]
. Up to now , the re is
no o ther repo rt about chem ical constituents of i.t W e
studied the chem ica l constituents of it in a bid to c larify
the substances appropria te fo r its traditiona l uses, and
succeeded in iso lating six su lfated sterols. In this pa-
pe r, we describe the iso lation and structura ldeterm ina-
tion o f the se compounds.
Results and D iscussion
Six su lfated stero ls we re iso lated and purified by
differen t chrom atog raphic me thods from starfish A.
amurensis, and their structures w ere e lucidated by M S
and NMR spec troscopic data comparied w ith relevan t
data in litera ture
[ 6 -13]
. Compounds 1 - 5 were ob-
tained from this species fo r the first time. Compound 1
was synthesized in 1960s, and de tected in the rat kid-
ney and liver andAstrocladus con iferus
[ 6-8]
. C ompounds
2 and 4 were repo rted to be from Far East starfish Le-
thasterias nanimensis
[ 9] , compound 3 was from starfish
Aphelasterias japonica and Lysastrosoma an thostic-
ta
[ 10, 11] , compound 5 was found in the starfish Acan-
thaster planci
[ 12] , and compound 6 was from A. amu-
rensis versicolor Sladen
[ 13]
. C ompound 1 has potent an-
ticancer activities against He la (ce rv ix adenocarcino-

ma), Cne (nasopharyngeal carcinoma), and Bgc
(gastric carcinom a)[ 6] . Sulfated stero ls from marine
orig in have been found to possess inhibitory effects on
thym id ine phosphory lase andH IV v irus
[ 14, 15]

Experimen tal
Apparatus and reagents
M elting po ints w ere determ ined on a Yanaco MP-
S3 m icrome lting po in t appara tus, and w ere uncorrec t-
ed. Op tical ro tationsw eremeasured by using a P-1020
digita l po larimete r (Jasco Corpora tion). FAB-MS and
HR-MS were obta ined w ith a Jeo l JMS-DX302 spec-
tromete r. ESI-MS was reco rded on a B ruker E squire
2000mass spectrome ter. IR spectra w ere recorded on
Shimadzu FT /IR-8400 spectrome ter. 1H and 13C
NMR, a long w ith 2D NMR spectra w ere ob tained on a
B rukerAV-400 (400 MH z for 1H , 100 MH z for 13 C
NMR spectrome ter, using TM S as an interna l stand-
ard. TLC w as ca rried out on silica ge l 60F254 and the
spotsw ere v isualized by spraying w ith 10%H 2SO 4 and
heating. LH-20 (Amersham B io sciences) and ODS
(Lobar, 40 - 63 μm , Merck)we re used fo r co lumn
chromatography. Prepa ra tive HPLC was pe rfo rm ed u-
sing an ODS column (C18 , 250 mm ×20 mm , Shi-
madzu Pak;de tec to r:RID).
An ima lm aterial
The starfish specimens w ere co llec ted in August
2004 (The No rth Sea of Ch ina, Guangxi) and iden ti-
fied by M r. W ang Yu-sheng (Research Institute of
Traditional ChineseM ed icine, Guangdong).
Extraction and isolation
G round starfish (5 kg)were subjected to exhaus-
tive extrac tion w ith methano l by ref lux ing(10 L ×3).
The extrac ts we re concentrated in vacuo. The residue
w as suspended in w a ter (4 L), and partitioned w ith
ch lo ro form and w a te r-sa tura ted n-bu tano l (350 g).
The butanol so lub le partw as app lied to silica gel co l-
umn chrom atog raph (8×35 cm) e lu ted w ith chloro-
fo rm-me thano l(100∶0, 98∶2, 97∶3, 95∶5, 90∶10,
80∶20, 70∶30, 60∶40, 0∶100) in a gradientmanne r to
give 15 fractions. Fractions 8 and 9 e luted w ith chloro-
fo rm-me thano l (80∶20, 70∶30), respec tively, were
found to be rich in stero ida l constituents. F raction 8
(13. 3 g)was further ch roma tog raphed onODS co lumn
w ith methano l-water as eluents to afford 13 subfrac-
tions. C ompound 1 (29. 0mg)was ob tained from sub-
frac tion 11 by recry sta llization w ith methano.l Subfrac-
tion 2 was passed through Sephadex LH-20 co lumn
(CHC l3∶CH 3OH , 1∶1) and finally purified by prepar-
a tive HPLC (MeOH∶H2O , 55∶45) to g ive 2 (84. 0
mg). C ompound 4 (8. 7 mg)was obtained from sub-
frac tion 3 by the same w ay as tha t of subfraction 2.
Sub fraction 4 w as first passed through Sephadex LH-20
co lumn CHC l3∶CH 3OH , 1∶1) and then sub jec ted to
HPLC purification (MeOH∶H2O , 57∶43) to afford 6
(5. 7 mg). Subfractions 5 and 8 w ere purified by pre-
parativeHPLC (M eOH∶H2O , 60∶40 and 78∶22) to af-
ford compounds 3 (26. 7 mg) and 5 (7. 1 mg), re-
spectively.

摘要:目的 对多棘海盘车(Asterias am urensis)的化学成分进行研究。 方法 用色谱法分离 , 并用各种波谱法对化合物
的结构进行鉴定。结果 从多棘海盘车甲醇提取物中分离鉴定了 6个化合物 , 其结构分别为:3β-O-sulfated-cho lest-5-en
sodium salt(1), 3β-O-su lfated-6α-o l-pregn-9 (11)-en-20-one sodium sa lt(2), 3β-O-sulfa ted-6α-o l-cho lest-9 (11)-en-23-one so-
dium salt(3), 3β-O-sulfa ted-6α, 20β-dio l-cho lest-9 (11)-en-23-one sod ium sa lt (4), 3β-O-sulfa ted-6α-ol-cho lesta-9 (11), 20
(22)-dien-23-one sodium salt(5), 3β-O-sulfated-6α-o l-ergo st-9(11)-en-23-one sodium sa lt(6).结论 以上化合物均为首次从
该种海星中获得。
