Abstract
Four pregnane-type steroids including the new compound 5-α-pregn-20-en-3,6-dione (1) and two known cholestane-type steroids were isolated from the MeOH extract of the octocoral Dendronephthya mucronata. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using spectral data (PMR and 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, 1H−1H COSY, NOESY, HR-QTOF-MS) and comparisons with previously published information. The steroids exhibited moderate or weak inhibitory effects on inflammatory lipopolysaccharide-induced NO formation in RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells.
