Sx. Qiu et al., Studies on the C-21 steroids from Asclepiadaceous plants part VII - Bisdesmosidic pregnane glycosides from Caralluma lasiantha, PHYTOCHEM, 50(3), 1999, pp. 485-491
From the whole plant of Caralluma lasiantha, two new bisdesmosidic C-21 ste
roidal (pregnane) glycosides, named as lasianthoside-A and -B, were isolate
d and their structures elucidated solely based on extensive 2D-NMR and MS/M
S spectral analysis as caralasigenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1 -->4)-beta
-D-digitalopyranoside-20-O-alpha-L-rhamnosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside
and caralumagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)-beta-D-digitalopyranosid
e-20-O-alpha-L-rhamnosyl (1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside. In addition, a kno
wn flavonoid glycoside, luteolin neohesperidoside, was also isolated. (C) 1
