Sa. Avilov et al., KOREOSIDE-A, A NEW NONHOLOSTANE TRITERPENE GLYCOSIDE FROM THE SEA-CUCUMBER CUCUMARIA-KORAIENSIS, Journal of natural products, 60(8), 1997, pp. 808-810
The new triterpene glycoside koreoside A (1) has been isolated from th
e sea cucumber Cucumaria koraiensis. Koreoside a (1) is the first glyc
oside reported from holothurians that presents a Delta(7) nonholostane
aglycon without a lactone group and with a shortened side chain. Its
structure has been elucidated by C-13 and H-1 NMR as well as FABMS stu
dies.
