- Description
- Two new steroids were found upon further chemical investigation of the Australian brown alga Cystophora xiphocarpa. The steroids were identified as (3S,16S,22S,24E)-stigmasta-5,24(28)-dien-3,16,22-triol and (3S,16S,22S)-ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-3,16,22-triol. Cystophora xiphocarpa is regarded as the most ancient extant member of its genus and the steroids it produces are biosynthetically related to those identified from C. brownii, which to this point had been the only novel steroids thus far identified from Cystophora spp.
