Abstract
This review explores the biological activity and structural diversity of steroids and related isoprenoid lipids, with a particular focus on compounds containing an oxirane ring. These natural compounds are derived from fungi, fungal endophytes, as well as extracts of plants, algae, and marine invertebrates. To evaluate their biological activity, an extensive examination of refereed literature sources was conducted, including in vivo and in vitro studies and the utilization of the QSAR method. Notable properties observed among these compounds include strong anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, antiproliferative, anti-hypercholesterolemic, antiparkinsonian, diuretic, anti-eczematic, anti-psoriatic, and various other activities. Throughout this review, 3D graphs illustrating the activity of individual steroids are presented, accompanied by images of selected terrestrial or marine organisms. Furthermore, this review provides explanations for specific types of biological activity associated with these compounds. The data presented in this review are of scientific interest to the academic community and carry practical implications in the fields of pharmacology and medicine. By analyzing the biological activity and structural diversity of steroids and related isoprenoid lipids, this review offers valuable insights that contribute to both theoretical understanding and applied research. This review draws upon data from various authors to compile information on the biological activity of natural steroids containing an oxirane ring.

Abstract
Four new steroids, stoloniferones R-T (1-3), and (25S)-24-methylenecholestane-3 beta,5 alpha,6 beta-triol-26-acetate (4) were isolated from the methylene chloride solubles of the soft coral Clavularia viridis. The structures of the metabolites were elucidated by extensive spectral analysis and their anti-inflammatory activity was measured in vitro.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of a methanol extract of the flowers of Datura metel has led to the isolation of 10 new withanolides, withametelins I-P (1-8), 1,10-seco-withametelin B (9), and 12beta-hydroxy-1,10-seco-withametelin B (10), together with seven known withanolides. The structures of 1-10 were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods, and the absolute stereochemistry of 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Compounds 1, 3, 4, and 6 exhibited cytotoxic activities against A549 (lung), BGC-823 (gastric), and K562 (leukemia) cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.05 to 3.5 microM.

Abstract
Five new halogenated prostanoids 1-4 and 6 were isolated from the Okinawan soft coral Clavularia viridis. The gross structure of 1 was elucidated mainly on the basis of NMR spectral data. The relative and absolute configurations were determined by analysis of NOESY and CD data, chemical conversion, and the modified Mosher's method. The structures of 2-4 and 6 were deduced by comparison of their spectral data with those of 1. Compound 1 demonstrated cytotoxic activity.
