Steroidal saponins from the fruits of Solanum torvum
Abstract Seven steroidal glycosides have been isolated from the fruits of Solanum torvum Swartz. Their structures were established by 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques ( 1 H, 1 H-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and mass spectrometry as (25 S )-26-(β- d -glucopyranosyloxy)-3-oxo-5α-furost-20(22)-en-6α-yl- O -β- d -xylopyranoside ( 1 ), (25 S )-26-(β- d -glucopyranosyloxy)-3-oxo-22α-methoxy-5α-furostan-6α-yl -O -β- d -xylopyranoside ( 2 ), (25 S )-26-(β- d -glucopyranosyloxy)-3β-hydroxy-22α-methoxy-5α-furostan-6α-yl- O -α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-β- d -glucopyranoside ( 3 ), (25 S )-3β-hydroxy-5α-spirostan-6α-yl- O -β- d -xylopyranoside ( 4 ), (25 S )-3-oxo-5α-spirostan-6α-yl- O -β- d -x…
New Steroidal Alkaloids from Solanum Hypomalacophyllum
Two new steroidal alkaloids (1-2) have been isolated from the leaves and roots of Solanum hypomalacophyllum Bitter, respectively. Their structures have been elucidated as deacetoxysolaphyllidine-3- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 4-keto-5,6-dihydro-(20 S)-verazine (2). Furthermore, two known steroidal alkaloids, 20 R-verazine and 20 S-verazine, and the common secondary metabolites oleanolic acid and β-sitosterol were isolated from the roots, whereas deacetoxysolaphyllidine was obtained from the leaves.
