Page/Page column 12; Fig. 1, (2008/06/13)
Sterol and stanol phosphorylnitro derivatives and their use in treating or preventing cardiovascular disease, its underlying conditions and other disorders are disclosed. The disclosed compounds include a phosphate linker, at least one moiety that releases nitric oxide (NO), and a sterol or stanol moiety. Some compounds additionally include an ascorbyl moiety to make the compound more readily soluble in aqueous and non-aqueous media.

The aqueous extracts of the starfish Euretaster insignis contain two groups of sterol sulphates.The more polar compounds are sulphated 3β,21-dihydroxysteroids; after solvolysis to remove the sulphate groups they were identified as (20R)-24-methylenecholestane-3β,21-diol (3a) (major), (20R)-24-methylenecholest-5-ene-3β,21-diol (3b) (minor), (20R,22E)-methylcholest-22-ene-3β,21-diol (4a) (major), (20R)-cholestane-3β,21-diol (1a) (minor), (20R,22E)-cholest-22-ene-3β,21-diol (2a) (minor), and (20R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,21-diol (1b) (minor).The less polar compouds are sterol sulphates wich are "normal" constituents of starfishes.Analysis of the free sterols mixture has revealed that it contains a low level of cholest-7-en-3β-ol (3percent of the total sterol mixtures) and C26, C27, C28, and C29 5α-steroidal alcohols.This finding, in contrast with previous results indicating the preponderance of Δ7-sterols in starfishes, could be related to the apparent absence of asterosaponins in this species.
