Koreoside A, a New Nonholostane Triterpene Glycoside from the Sea Cucumber Cucumaria koraiensis

Abstract
The new triterpene glycoside koreoside A (1) has been isolated from the sea cucumber Cucumaria koraiensis. Koreoside A (1) is the first glycoside reported from holothurians that presents a Δ7 nonholostane aglycon without a lactone group and with a shortened side chain. Its structure has been elucidated by 13C and 1H NMR as well as FABMS studies.
