Continuous chemical investigation of the gorgonian coral <i>Pinnigorgia</i> sp. resulted in the isolation of two new sterols, 5α,6α-epoxy-(22<i>E</i>,24<i>R</i>)-3β,11-dihydroxy-9,11-secoergosta-7-en-9-one (<b>1</b>) and (22<i>R</i>)-acetoxy-(24<i>ξ</i>)-ergosta-5-en-3β,25-diol (<b>2</b>). The structures of sterols <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. Sterol <b>1</b> displayed inhibitory effects on the generation of superoxide anions and the release of elastase by h ...[more]
