Seven new marine 11-acetoxy-9,11-secosterols, pinnisterols D-J (<b>1</b>-<b>7</b>), with a 1,4-quinone moiety, were discovered from the gorgonian coral <i>Pinnigorgia</i> sp. In this study, the structures of secosterols <b>1</b>-<b>7</b> were revealed by spectroscopic analysis. Bioactivity study showed that secosterol <b>1</b> treatment inhibited cell viability in a hepatic stellate cell line, HSC-T6, with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 3.93 μM; and secosterols <b>2</b>, <b>5</b>, and <b>7</b> redu ...[more]
