    Notes: New cytotoxic triterpene oligoglycoside disulfates, cucumariosides A3 (1) and A6-2 (2), have been isolated from the sea cucumber Cucumaria japonica. The trisulfated cucumarioside A7-3 (4) was found to be the major component in the glycoside fraction of Cucumaria miniata. The structures were assigned on the basis of extensive spectral data (NMR and MS), selective solvolysis of desulfated derivative 3 and other chemical evidence. The presence or absence of a carbonyl group at C-16 of the aglycone and of sulfate groups at C-6 of the glucose and 3-O-methylglucose units are interpreted in terms of the functional evolution of sea cucumbers in order to improve their defensive system. Both (1) and (2) are cytotoxic in vitro at IC50 = 1 μg/ml against a selection of five human and mice tumoral cell lines.

    Notes: Two new asterosaponins, validosides A and B, were isolated from the butanolic extract of the starfish Odontaster validus and their structures established as (24S)-24-O-[2,4-di-O-methyl-β-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-arabinofuranosyl]-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,8,15β,24-hexaol 6-O-sodium sulfate (1) and (24S)-24-O-(3-O-methyl-β-xylopyranosyl)-5α-cholestane-3β,6α,8,15β,24-pentaol 2′-O-sodium sulfate (2) on the basis of extensive spectroscopic investigations and chemical correlations. Validoside A and B are extremely rarely occurring saponins due to the presence of a sulfated group at C-6 of the aglycone in 1 and at C-2′ of a pyranose in 2. The absolute configuration at C-24 was found to be S by the application of the Trost-Mosher methodology.
