Triterpene glycosides of the holothurian Eupentacta pseudoquinquisemita

The holothurianEupentacta pseudoquinquisemita Deichmann collected in Kraternaya Bay, Ushishir Islands has yielded two triterpene pentaosides — the previously known cucumarioside C₂, and cucumarioside H, which is a new glycoside. With the aid of¹³C NMR spectroscopy and solvolytic desulfation its structure has been determined as 6-acetoxy-3-([3-O-methyl--D-xylopyranosyl-(1 3)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 4)] [-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 4)] [-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 2)]--D-quinovopy-ranosyl-(1 2)-(4-O-sulfato--D-xylopyranosyloxy)holosta-7,22,24(trans)-triene.
