Abstract: In this paper, we have prepared six analogues of 24-methylenecholest-4-en-3β,6β-diol(1) and investigated the relationships between the biological activity and their structures. The results showed that the double bond in the molecule played an impor tant role to the cytotoxicity of these polyhydroxysterols. Their cytotoxicity reduced obviously while the double bond in steroidal nucleus or side-chain was saturated. Compounds 5 and 8 showed a moderate cytotoxic activity against human gastric carcinoma cells(MGC) and cervical carcinoma cells(HELA).
