Abstract

Chemical investigation of the marine sponge Haliclona oculata resulted in the isolation of eight new compounds including oculatol (1) and oculatolide (2) and six unusual A-nor steroids, 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2beta-hydroxy-A-nor-ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-4-one (3), 2-ethoxycarbonyl-24-ethyl-2beta-hydroxy-A-nor-cholesta-5-en-4-one (4), 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2beta,7beta-dihydroxy-A-nor-ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-4-one (5), 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2beta,7beta-dihydroxy-A-nor-cholesta-5-en-4-one (6), 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2beta,7beta-dihydroxy-24-methyl-A-nor-cholesta-5,22(E)-dien-4-one (7), and 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2beta,7beta-dihydroxy-A-nor-cholesta-5,22(E)-dien-4-one (8), along with 16 known steroids and indole derivatives. Their structures were unambiguously determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses.
