Steroids are a highly diverse group of metabolically active compounds. Inborn errors in
sterol biosynthesis in humans are now known to cause several disorders, including …

This review describes the isolation from marine organisms of all secosteroids reported in the
literature from 1972 to 2004. Secosteroids are highly oxidized metabolites with bond …

Sterols of marine organisms have been found to be comprised of most complex mixtures.
Over 200 new monohydroxysterols have so far been identified from marine sources, and …

Seven ergostane-type sterols and two mono-glucosides were isolated from the ethyl acetate
soluble fraction of Lactarium volemus. Three are previously unknown, ie 3-O-β-d …

Eight previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, ganodeweberiols A∼ H (1–8),
together with eighteen known compounds (9–26), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of …

Four (1–4) hitherto unknown and seven (5–11) known ergostane-type sterols were isolated
from the EtOH extract of the dried fruiting bodies of the polypore macrofungus Fomes …

Erinarols G–J and 10 known ergostane-type sterols were isolated from a methanol extract of
the dried fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceum. Their chemical structures were elucidated …
