The steroidal and terpenoidal composition of  Sinularia variabilis  was investigated by chromatography methods. One new ( 1 ), and four known [gorgasta-5-en-3β-ol ( 2 ), ergosta-5-en-3β-ol ( 3 ), ergosta-5, 22( Z )-dien-3β-ol ( 4 ), 5,8-epidioxy-5α, 8α-ergosta-6, 22E-dien-3β-ol ( 5 )] steroids, in addition to one known diterpenoidal alkaloid [sinulasulfone ( 6 )] isolated for the first time from  S. variabilis . If we named the 23-methylergostane core structure as sinustane, new compound ( 1 ) was elucidated as 16α,17α-epoxysinusta-5-en-3β–ol-20β-yl sulfate based on NMR and HR Mass data. It was submitted for cytotoxic activity evaluation against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines using MTT assay. Apoptosis induction was checked by flow cytometry (annexin V/propidium iodide) staining. To determine the production of reactive oxygen species, and the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm), the DCFDA, and JC‐1 probes were used in this study.
