Five new steroids, the cholest-4-ene-3,22-diones : tumacone A (1), tumacone B (2), tumacoside A (3), tumacoside B (4), and a furostenone: tumaquenone (5), besides diosgenone (6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Solanum nudum. Their structures were determined by 2D NMR, MS analyses and chemical correlations. Steroid 3 and 5 displayed in vitro antimalarial activity against a Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-resistant FCB-1 strain (IC50 27 and 16 mu M). The observed stereodependent cyclization into spiroketals of two 16-O isomers is discussed.
