Vi. Grishkovets et al., Triterpene glycosides of Fatsia japonica. I. Isolation and structure of glycosides from Fatsia japonica seeds, CHEM NAT CO, 36(2), 2000, pp. 166-169
The known triterpene glycosides hederagenin 3-O-alpha -L-arabinopyranoside,
hederagenin 3-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside, oleanolic acid 3-O-beta -sophoros
ide, hederagenin 3-O-beta -sophoroside, and their 28-O-beta- gentiobiosyl e
sters, respectively, in addition to the new triterpene glycoside 3-O-beta -
sophorosyl-28-O-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-beta -gentiobiosyl heder
agenin are isolated from Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae) seeds. The structures
of these glycosides are established using chemical and spectral methods.
