Abstract: Two 19-hydroxylated sterols, name ne phalsterd-A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the soft corals, Nephthea albida and Nephthea tiexieral verseveldt collected off Xisha and Nansha Islands respectively.On the basis of one and two dimensional NMR and other spectroscopy methods, the structures of 1 and 2 were characterized as 24-methylene-cholestan-3β,5α,6β,19-tetrol and 24-methylene-cholestan-5-ene-3β, 7β, 19-triol respectively.1 is an unknown compound.The structure of 2 is identical with the sterols which was isolated from the soft coral Litophyton viridis by M.Bortolotto.The 1H and 13C NMR data of 1 and 2 were first assigned from the 1H-1H and 13C-1H COSY and COLOC spectra in this paper.
