I. Calis et al., Cephalotoside A: a tridesmosidic cycloartane type glycoside from Astragalus cephalotes var. brevicalyx, PHYTOCHEM, 50(5), 1999, pp. 843-847
A new tridesmosidic cycloartane type glycoside, cephalotoside A was isolate
d from the roots of Astragahus cephalotes var. brevicalyx in addition to th
e known glycosides cyclocanthosides A, D and E. The structure of the new co
mpound was determined by spectral (IR, H-1- and C-13-NMR, and FABMS) and ch
emical (acetylation) methods and established as 3 beta-(beta-D-xylopyranosy
l)oxy-16 beta-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy-24- (beta-D-xylopyranosyl)oxy-cycl
oarlane-6 alpha,25-diol. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All ri
