ResumoFree sterol fractions from the sea cucumbers Pseudostichopus trachus, Holothuria (Microtele) nobilis, Holothuria scabra, Bathyplotes natans and Trochostoma orientale have been isolated and studied by HPLC, GLC, GLC–MS, and NMR methods. About 80 sterols were found and 69 of these were identified, including several new and rare ones. Peculiarities of biosynthesis and metabolism of sterols, as well as a probable evolutionary influence of the presence of membranolytic oligoglycosides on compositions of free sterol fractions in these sea cucumbers, are discussed.
