Using various chromatographic methods, a glycosylated polyhydroxysterol nodososide (1) and three polyhydroxylated sterols (25S),5α-cholestane-3β,6α,8β,15α,16β,26-hexol (2), (25S),5α-cholestane-3β,6α,7α,8β,15α,16β,26-heptol (3), (25S),5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,7α,8β,15α,16β,26-octol (4), were isolated from the methanol extract of the starfish Protoreaster nodosus. The structural elucidations were done using 1D and 2D-NMR experiments and comparison of the NMR data with reported values.
