identification of six new (1–3, 6, 8, 9) and 12 known (4, 5, 10–19) cyclocitrinol analogues,
together with one handling artifact (7), all featuring an unusual 7/7/6/5-tetracyclic scaffold
and bicyclo [4.4. 1] A/B rings. Norcyclocitrinoic acids A and B (1, 2) represent the second
occurrence of 24, 25-bisnor cyclocitrinols. Structures were assigned to new steroids on the
basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography. Compound 13 …
