High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the seeds of Centa
urea moschata has afforded a novel steroidal glycoside: moschatine opy
ranosyloxybenzoyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy}-15 alpha-hydroxy-8 beta,9
alpha,14 alpha,17 alpha-pregn-4-en-3-one]. The structure of this comp
ound was elucidated by a combination of UV, LSIMS, and a series of 1D
and 2D NMR spectral analyses. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right
