Cycloartane Glycosides from Three Species of Astragalus (Fabaceae)
Nine cycloartane-type glycosides were isolated from three species of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae): From the aerial parts of A. cicer L., two new saponins, cicerosides A and B (1 and 2, resp.), i.e., a tetradesmosidic and tridesmosidic cycloartane-type glycosides besides one known compound, from the roots of A. sempervirensLam., one known saponin, and from the roots of A. ptilodesBoiss. var. cariensisBoiss., five known compounds. Their structures were established mainly by 600-MHz 2D-NMR techniques (1H,1H-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and mass spectroscopy.
Two new triterpenoid saponins fromPittosporum senaciaPutterlick (Pittosporaceae)
From the branches of Pittosporum senacia Putterlick (Pittosporaceae), two new triterpenoid saponins, senaciapittosides A and B (1, 2), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESIMS) and chemical evidence as 3-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 2)]-[α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 3)]-[α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 4)]-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl oleanolic acid 28-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (1) and 3-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 2)]-[α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 3)]-[α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 4)]-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-21-acetoxy R1-barrigen…
Cycloartane-type Glycosides from Two Species of Astragalus (Fabaceae)
Three known cycloartane-type glycosides were isolated from the roots of two different species of Astragalus, A. glycyphyllos, A. sempervirens. The identification of these compounds were mainly achieved by 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and FAB-MS. The results of our studies confirm that triterpene saponins from the cycloartane-type skeleton might be chemotaxonomically significant to the genus Astragalus.
