L. Rastrelli et al., CONSTITUENTS OF CHENOPODIUM-PALLIDICAULE (CANIHUA) SEEDS - ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW TRITERPENE SAPONINS, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 44(11), 1996, pp. 3528-3533
Seven triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the seeds of Chenopodiu
m pallidicaule (Chenopodiaceae). Of these compounds, four were identif
ied as known saponins of oleanolic acid and phytolaccagenic acid. The
other three compounds, named 1-3, are new saponins. The structures of
these saponins were determined to be: (1) hederagenin D-glucuronopyran
osyl]-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside; (2) phytolaccagenic acid eta-D-gluc
opyranosyl]-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside; and (3) phytolaccagenic acid
eta-D-glucopyranosyl]-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside. All structures were
elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods.
