New steroid glycosides, hylodoside A (1) and novaeguinoside Y (2), along with previously known polyhydroxylated steroids (3-7) were isolated from the ethanolic extracts of the starfish Leptasterias hylodes reticulata and Culcita novaeguineae (juvenile) The structures have been elucidated using ID and 2D NMR spectra ((1)H, (13)C, DEPT, COSY-45, 1D-TOCSY, HSQCGP, ROESY, HSQC and HMBCGP) and mass spectrometry Compound 3 was shown to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus up to 10% from the control at a concentration of 1 mg/mL Steroids 1, 2 and 5 showed moderate hemolytic activity in the mouse erythrocytes assay Compounds 3 4 and 6 displayed pH-depended hemolytic properties
