Abstract

Clionasterol (1a), clionasterol monoacetate (1b) and 5alpha,8alpha-epidioxy-24alpha-ethylcholest-6-en-3-ol (2), isolated from the marine sponge Xestospongia exigua, and beta-sitosterol (3) were tested for their influence on the classical (CP) and alternative (AP) pathways of activation of the human complement system in vitro. All the sterols inhibited the CP in a dose-dependent manner but no detectable effect was observed in the AP even at concentrations of 400 microM. Clionasterol was found to be a potent inhibitor of CP (IC50 = 4.1 microM) being ten-fold more active than beta-sitosterol. The presence of the epidioxy group on C-5 and C-8 of compound 2 caused a pronounced decrease of the inhibitory effect. Mechanistic studies on the anticomplementary effect of clionasterol revealed that it interferes with the complement component C1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
