Nine triterpenoid saponins have been isolated from the New Caledonian sea-cucumber, Actinopyga flammea.Holothurin A and B, echinoside A, 24-dehyroechinoside A and 22-hydroxy ξ-echinoside A (holothurin A1) are known compounds, whereas, 24(S)-hydroxy-25-dehydro-echinoside A, 22 ξ-hydroxy-24-dehydro-echinoside A, 22 ξ-acetoxy-echinoside A and 25-hydroxy-dehydroechinoside A are new compounds.Acid hydrolysis of the crude saponins yielded six sapogenins which have been identified as: 22,25-oxydo-holothurinogenin, holothurinogenin, 24-dehydro-holothurinogenin, griseogenin, koellikerigenin and the previously unreported 16-keto-holothurinogenin.
