Phytochemical investigation on the whole plants of Ypsilandra parviflora led to the isolation of seven new spirostanol saponins, named ypsiparosides A–G, together with 14 known saponins. Their structures were unambiguously established based on extensive spectroscopic evidence and chemical methods. The induced rabbit platelet aggregation activities of the isolates were tested. Compounds 4, 15, and...
Seven new steroid glycosides, dioscorosides A1 (1), A2 (2), B1 (3), B2 (4), C1 (5), C2 (6), and D (7), together with 22 known ones (8–29) were isolated from the rhizomes of Dioscorea septemloba, their structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods. All isolates were evaluated for in vitro anti-inflammatory potential using LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. Among them, spirostane...
Eight new spirostane glycosides, taccaosides E-L (2–7, 11, and 14), along with 7 known spirostane glycosides were isolated from the extract of the whole plants of Tacca plantaginea (Hance) Drenth. Their structures were established on the basis of physical data, spectroscopic analysis (MS, 1D and 2D NMR), and chemical methods. The cytotoxicities of the isolates were evaluated in vitro against two human...
In order to utilize and protect the resources of Rhizoma Paridis rationally, we carried out a phytochemical investigation on the non-medicinal (aerial) parts of Paris verticillata that led to the isolation of fifteen steroidal saponins. Among them, three are new spirostanol saponins, named parisverticosides A–C (1–3), as well as one new cholestane glycoside, named parisverticoside D (4). Their structures...
Rhizoma Paridis, the root of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (Trilliaceae), is a Chinese traditional medicine, which resources become less and less. However, the aerial parts of this herb, which can regenerate every year, were discarded. In order to expand the resources, detailed chemical investigation on the stems and leaves of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis led to isolation of one sapogenin...
By analyzing the steroidal content of fresh whole plants of Tacca subflabellata (Taccaceae), we isolated one sapogenin and eight glycosides with four kinds of steroidal skeletons including four new glycosides, named taccasubosides A–D (1–4), together with five known compounds. Among them, compound 1 is the first pentacyclic sterol glycoside with 6–6–6–5–6 fused rings. The structures of 1–4 were elucidated...
Phytochemical reinvestigation on the whole plants of Ypsilandra thibetica obtained five new spirostane glycosides, ypsilandrosides H-L (1–5), and a known saponin polyphylloside III (6). Among them, 1 and 2 are the first spirostane glycosides which possess novel 5(6→7) abeo-steroidal aglycones. Compounds 3 and 4 are rare saponins whose aglycones contain a hydroxyl group at C-7. Their structures were...
A further phytochemical investigation on the whole plants of Ypsilandra thibetica yielded one sapogenin and 12 spirostanol saponins. Five of these are new compounds, designated as ypsilandrosides C-G (2–6). Their structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR data, and by the result of a hydrolytic reaction. Compounds 2–5 were rare steroidal saponins...
Six new 8,14-seco-pregnane glycosides, gracillosides A–F (1–6), were isolated from the roots of Adelostemma gracillimum (Asclepiadaceae). All of them had the same aglycone as gracigenin with a rare 8,14-seco-pregnane type skeleton in nature and possessed an oligosaccharide chain consisting of four to six sugar units at C-3 of the aglycone. Their structures were determined on the basis of detailed...
Six new C 21 steroidal glycosides, named curassavosides A–F (3–8), were obtained from the aerial parts of Asclepias curassavica (Asclepiadaceae), along with two known oxypregnanes, 12-O-benzoyldeacylmetaplexigenin (1) and 12-O-benzoylsarcostin (2). By spectroscopic methods, the structures of the six new compounds were determined as 12-O-benzoyldeacylmetaplexigenin 3-O-β-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-digitoxopyranoside...
