Four new polyhydroxylated steroid glycosides have been isolated from the starfish Asterias forbesi, and their structures have been determined by spectroscopic means to be as follows: forbesidee I, (24S)-3-O-(2,4-di-O-methyl-.beta.-D-xylopyranosyl)-5.alpha.-cholesta-3.beta.,4.beta.,6.beta.,8,15.alpha.,24-hexaol [3]; forbeside J, (24S)-3-O-(2,4-di-O-methy6l-.beta.-D-xylopyranosyl)24-O-.alpha.-L-arabinofuranosyl-5.alpha.-cholesta-3.beta.,4.beta.,6.beta.,8,15.alpha.-4-hexaol [1]; forbeside K, (24Z)-3-O-(2-O-methyl-.beta.-D-xylopyranosyl)27-O-.alpha.-L-arabinofuranosyl-24-methyl-5.alpha.-cholest-24-ene-3.beta.,4.beta.,6.beta.,8,15.alpha.,27-hexaol [4]; and forbeside L, 3-O-(2-O-methyl-.beta.-D-xylopyranhosyl)-24-ethyl-5.alpha.-cholest-4-ene-3.beta.,6.beta.,8,15.alpha.,16.beta.,26-hexaol [5].
