K. Yoshikawa et al., STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDES FROM THE FRESH OF STEPHANOTIS-LUTCHUENSIS VAR JAPONICA (ASCLEPIADACEAE) - CHEMICAL-STRUCTURE OF STEPHANOSIDES A-J, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 44(10), 1996, pp. 1790-1796
The structures of ten related oxypregnane-oligoglycosides stephanoside
s A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), E (5), F (6), G (7), H (8), I (9), and J
(10) from the fresh stem of Stephanotis lutchuensis var. japonica (As
clepiadaceae) were elucidated on the basis of a detailed study of thei
r high-field H-1- and C-13-NMR spectra. All the sugars are beta (1-->4
)-linked and the aglycones are 12, 20 bis-O-acyl or 12-O-acyl derivati
ves of sarcostin.
