Abstract

A new ecdysteroid, zoanthusterone, has been isolated from a marine zoanthid, Zoanthus sp. Ten known ecdysteroids, ponasterone A, 20-hydroxyecdysone 2-acetate, viticosterone E, integristerone A 25-acetate, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone, ecdysone, ajugasterone C, dacryhainansterone, inokosterone, and 20-hydroxyecdysone, have also been isolated. This is the first report of ecdysteroids in a Zoanthus species.
