Three new steroid biglycosides, plancisides A-C (1-3), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the starfish Acanthaster planci. The structures of 1-3 were determined by extensive NMR and ESI-MS techniques, as (24 S)-28- O-[β-D-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)-α-L-arabinofuranosyl]-24-methyl-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,8,15β,16β,28-heptol (1), (24 S)-28- O-[α-L-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-3- O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl]–24-methyl-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,8,15β,16β,28-heptol (2) and (24 S)-28- O-[2,4-di- O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinofuranosyl]-24-methyl-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,8,15β,16β,28-heptol 6- O-sulfate (3), respectively. Compound 2 is the first steroid glycoside containing an α-fucopyranose unit found from starfish. Compound 1 slightly inhibits cell proliferation of HCT-116, T-47D, and RPMI-7951 cancer cell lines, but has no effect on colony formation of these cells in a soft agar clonogenic assay.

Breast cancer is a hormone-dependent disease that relies on the mitogenic effect ofestrogen to increase tumorigenesis and tumor growth. Clinically significant levels ofestrogen-α receptor (ERα) expression are seen in 80% of human breast cancers,whereas progesterone receptor is expressed in 55% of human breast cancers. Thesedata are one of the bases for the development of endocrine therapy. Endocrinetherapy is therapy that targets the pathway and synthesis of estrogen, by blocking itvia receptors, reducing circulating levels of estrogen, or suppressing estrogensynthesis in the tissues of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
