The first example of a 6a sulfated sterol was isolated from Dysidea Jfagilis from the lagoon of Venice in 1995, and in 1998 a group of ten 4a sulfated sterols, acanthos-terol sulfates A-J, were characterized in a Japanese sponge of the genus Acanthodendrilla (Dendroceratida). Some of these (I and J) are antifungal.
