Two new polyhydroxylated sterols from Ruppia maritima

Nat Prod Lett. 2001;15(2):111-8. doi: 10.1080/10575630108041267.

Abstract

Two new sterols have been isolated from the aquatic plant Ruppia maritima and their structures were established as (24R) ergosta-8,22-diene-3 beta,6 beta,7 alpha-triol (1) and (24R) ergosta-8(14),22-diene-3 beta,6 beta,7 alpha-triol (2) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis.
