Recently1 we reported the isolation of the two novel steroids 5a-pregn-9( 11)-ene-36,6a-diol-20-one (XI) and 5a-cholesta-9(11),20(22)-diene-38,6a-diol-23-one (XVLI) from the starfish A. planci. We now describe the isolation from the same source and structure determination of two additional minor gen

✦ Synopsis
A recent report describing the isolation of 6a-hydroxy-36-sulfo-oxy-5u-pregn-9(ll)-en-20-one1 from Asterias amurensis prompts us to report the characterization of the related 36-hydroxy-5a-cholesta-9(11),20( 22)-dien-23-one-6a-yl-B-D-6'-deoxy glucoside (2). This substance was isolated during our continuing search for presumable biogenetic precursors to Sa-pregn-9(U)-ene-36, 6a-dial-20-one, the important constituent2 from the starfish Acanthaster planci which we have recently converted3 into corticosteroids such as cortisone.
Hydrolysis (2N HCl/benzene) of the starfish saponin at 80 o for 5 hr furnished a mixture which on fractionation by tic over silica gel HF254 [rf, 0.48 (CHC13-MeOH 8:2); 0.08

In continuation of our work' on starfish saponins, we report the isolation of the hitherto unknown 17~-methyl-3S,6cc-dihydroxy-18-no~5~-cholesta-9(ll)-l3-dien-23-one (I) from the sapoge nin portion of Astropecten aurantiacus, and show that it is an artefact produced during acid hydrolysis. Compound
