Two dimeric steroid derivatives, shishicrellastatin A (1) and B (2), have been isolated as cathepsin B inhibitors from the marine sponge Crella (Yvesia) spinulata. Their structures were determined by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Shishicrellastatins inhibit cathepsin B with an IC(50) value of 8 mu g/mL each. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
