Abstract

Fourteen new 9,10-secosteroids designated as astrogorgols A-N (1-14) were isolated from a Chinese gorgonian Astrogorgia sp. together with eight known analogues. The structural patterns were characterized by the presence of a sterol-based 9,10-seco nucleus containing a 3-hydroxy-10-methylphenyl ring. Astrogorgol N (14) possessing a 1,4-dien-3-one unit in ring A was biogenetically considered as an intermediate to generate diverse 9,10-secosteroids. Five compounds showed significant inhibitory activities against human tumor related protein kinases, including ALK, AXL, FAK, IGF-1R, MET wt, SRC, and VEGF-R2.
