Summary Three new brassinolide-like steroids, a new class of plant growth promoter, have been isolated from higher plants. These bioactive steroids were identified as (22R, 23R)-2α, 3α, 22, 23-tetrahydroxy-B-homo-7-oxa-5α-chlestan-6-one (III, norbrassinolide), its 6-ketone analogue named brassinone (IV) and the 24-ethyl analogue of (IV) named (24S)-24-ethylbrassinone (VI).
