One isoprenoid, tuberatolide A (1), meroterpenoids tuberatolide B (2) and 2'-epi-tuberatolide B (3), and the known meroterpenoids yezoquinolide (4), (R)-sargachromenol (5), and (S)-sargachromenol (6) were isolated from the Korean marine tunicate Botryllus tuberatus. The structures of these compounds were elucidated

A new stereoselective synthesis of E-guggulsterone is described starting from androsten-3,17-dione. Protection of the ring A enonic system, followed by regioselective Wittig reaction and C-16 oxidation, affords E-guggulsterone in good yields and high stereoselectivity, making this approach easily accessible and

A high performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for the simultaneous determination of the hypolipidemic agents, E- and Z-isomers of guggulsterone in Commiphora mukul resin, guggulipid (ethyl acetate extract of resin), and its pharmaceutical formulation, was developed. The developed system was
