Unique Steroid Structures Recently Isolated from Marine Sponges

            Among the thousands of naturally occurring steroidal derivatives, poly-halogenated ones are particularly rare. However, in 2004, a tetrachlorinated androstane deriviative, clionastatin B, was isolated from the tropical burrowing sponge Cliona nigricans. Clionastatin B represents the first example of a poly-halogenated steroid found in nature, from either a marine or terrestrial source. The clionastatins displayed potent cytotoxicity against three different tumor cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.8 to 2.0 ug/mL. Recently, the laboratory of Vanderwal at the University of California, Irvine completed an elegant synthesis of the A-C tricyclic western substructure of the highly chlorinated androstane clionastatin B which provides strong support for the original 2004 structural assignment.
            Dredging or trawling of the ocean floor for deep-water marine organisms is an effective method to collect fragments of organisms that coexist, hundreds of meters below the ocean’s surface. Deep-water marine organisms often produce rare metabolites that exhibit interesting bioactivities. Recently, the extracts of frozen fragments obtained from dredging expeditions yielded a new steroid, cinanthrenol A. The steroidal framework of cinanthrenol A is comprised of a phenanthrene domain (highlighted above in blue) and an ornate eastern spiro[2,4]heptane system. Until recently, phenanthrene-containing natural products were known only from plants. It was demonstrated by fluorescence and HPLC techniques that cinanthrenol A is produced by the sponge, Cinachyrella sp. The natural product binds to the estrogen receptor in a relative binding assay with an IC50 value of 10 nM, thus indicating that cinanthrenol A has strong estrogenic activity.

  1. As the use of steroids increases day by day, the need for sources of information on steroids is rapidly increasing. In this respect, our site aims to inform the athletes about steroid use as best we can, as they are well aware of the problems that may arise after the unconscious use of steroids. While those who log in to my site can easily review the product they want on my site, they also display the best cursors they can get according to their needs. On this side, it is very similar to the sports, as well as the cure and research, as well as the use of steroids. After this process, development process can be followed easily.

    Our site offers a safe shopping opportunity from the time it was set up to serving people who are considering buying steroids. Our company, which sells all products recommended in the steroid industry, constantly offers the best prices on the easiest conditions at this stage. It is enough for the customers who can buy steroids by credit card or bank transfer method to decide which product they are going to use. In addition, discounted prices will be offered to our customers who will receive products in a wholesale manner, and all opportunities will be provided to the athletes. If there are people completing their shopping on our site until 14:30 noon, the products they receive are delivered to the cargo on the same day.
