E. Bedir et al., CYCLOCEPHALOSIDE-I - A NOVEL CYCLOARTANE-TYPE GLYCOSIDE FROM ASTRAGALUS-MICROCEPHALUS, Journal of natural products, 61(4), 1998, pp. 503-505
A novel cycloartane-type glycoside, cyclocephaloside I (1) was isolate
d from the roots of Astragalus microcephalus in addition to known glyc
osides cyclocanthoside E (2) and astragaloside IV (3). The structure o
f 1 was determined by spectral (IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR, and FABMS) and c
hemical (acetylation) methods and established as 20,25-epoxy-3 beta-(b
eta-D-xylopyranosyl)oxy-6 alpha-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy-cycloartane
-16 beta,24 alpha-diol.
