Furostane-Type Steroidal Saponins from the Roots ofChlorophytum borivilianum
Four new furostanol steroid saponins, borivilianosides A–D (1–4, resp.), corresponding to (3β,5α,22R,25R)-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-hydroxyfurostan-3-yl O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (1), (3β,5α,22R,25R)- 26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-methoxyfurostan-3-yl O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (2), (3β,5α,22R,25R)-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-methoxyfurostan-3-yl O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(12)]-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-β-D-galactopyranoside (3), and (3β,5α,25R)-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)furost-20(22)-en-3-yl O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13…
Cytotoxic Spirostane-Type Saponins from the Roots of Chlorophytum borivilianum
Four new spirostane-type saponins named borivilianosides E-H (1-4) were isolated from an ethanol extract of the roots of Chlorophytum borivilianum together with two known steroid saponins (5 and 6). The structures of 1-4 were elucidated using mainly 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry. The cytotoxicity of borivilianosides F (2), G (3), and H (4) and three known compounds was evaluated using two human colon cancer cell lines (HT-29 and HCT 116).
Steroidal saponins from Chlorophytum orchidastrum.
Six new spirostane-type saponins (1−6), named orchidastrosides A−F, and chloromaloside D were isolated from an ethanol extract of the roots of Chlorophytum orchidastrum. The saponins have neotigogenin or neogitogenin as the aglycon and oligosaccharidic chains possessing seven to nine sugar units. Their structures were elucidated mainly by 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and FABMS and HRESIMS. Compounds 1−6 were tested for cytotoxicity against two human colon cancer cell lines, HCT 116 and HT-29.
