Dendrodoristerol, a cytotoxic C20 steroid from the Vietnamese nudibranch mollusk Dendrodoris fumata

Using various chromatographic separations, four steroids including one new C20 steroid namely dendrodoristerol (1), were isolated from the Vietnamese nudibranch mollusk Dendrodoris fumata. The structure elucidation was confirmed by combination of spectroscopic experiments including 1D and 2D NMR, HR QTOF MS, and CD. Compound 1 was found to exhibit significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against six human cancer cell lines as HL-60, KB, LU-1,...
