Inositol and its derivatives are the only cycloalkanes in biology that I can think of off of the top of my head.

What about steroids? Some are saturated and hence derived from four-ring cycloalkanes.

Lets not forget our friends ketamine, which contains a cyclohexyl moiety, and phencyclohexylpiperidine, aka PCP
Not to mention all those delightful analogs of PCP with opioid activity either
