Contignasterines A (1) and B (2) were isolated as major metabolites of the sponge Neopetrosia cf. rava collected in the Bismarck Sea along with the known and highly bioactive steroid contignasterol (3) possessing a similar oxidized aglycone. Contignasterines are characterized by the presence of a 2- aminoimidazole branched on the side-chains of the oxidized steroid, and 1 also contains an unusual phosphate group at C-7. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were investigated and revealed that all three compounds inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory mediators}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, title = {Contignasterines, Anti-Inflammatory 2-Aminoimidazole Steroids from the Sponge Neopetrosia cf. rava Collected in the Bismarck Sea}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jnatprod.5c00118}, author = {Ortega-Vidal, J. and Reddy, M.
