From the albumen glands of the sea hare Aplysia juliana, collected in Kumamoto Prefecture, a mixture of cholesteryl esters (1) and two 5,8α-epidioxysterols 5 and 8 have been isolated.Acid-catalyzed methanolysis of 1 afforded four methyl esters of fatty acids and cholesterol. 5 and 8 were identified by spectroscopic and synthetical evidence to be 5,8α-epidioxy-5α-cholest-6-en-3β-ol and 5,8α-epidioxy-5α-cholesta-6,9(11)-dien-3β-ol, respectively.
