Three new cardenolide glycosides were isolated from the seeds of Corchorus
Olitorius L. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, their str
uctures were established as cannogenol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-
O-beta-D-boivinopyranoside, periplogenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4
)-0-beta-D-digitoxopyranoside and digitoxigenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(
1 --> 6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-( 1 --> 4)-O-beta-D-digitoxopyranoside. (
