A new sphingosine derivative from the soft coral Sinularia species of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

摘要

N-Tricosanoyl-1,3,4-trihydroxy-2-amino-tridecane 1, a new sphingosine derivative has been isolated along with the known 11, 12-epoxy isoneocembrene-A, 24-methylenecholesterol, 24-methylenecholest-5-en-3#beta#, 16#beta#-diol, 24-methylenecholest-7-en-3#beta#,5#alpha#, 6#beta#-triol 4 and 24-methylenecholest-5-en-3#beta#, 16#beta#-diol-3-O-#alpha#-L-fucopyranoside from a soft coral of Sinularia species. The structure of the new compound has been deduced from ~1H, ~13C NMR and mass spectral data.
