Cardiac glycosides of Cheiranthus allioni. V

Conclusions Two additional cardiac glycosides, glucoerysimoside and glucoerysimosol, have been isolated from the seeds ofCheiranthus allioni Hort. Glucoerysimoside is strophanthidin 3-[O--D-digitoxopyranosyl-(4 1)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(4 1)--D-glucopyranoside]. Glucoerysimosol is a new cardenolide having the same carbohydrate component, but its aglycone is strophanthidol. From these glycosides a new trisaccharide has been obtained which has been characterized as 4-O--cellobiosyl-D-digitoxose.Khar'kov Scientific-Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Triterpene glycosides of Astragalus and their genins XXXVII. Cycloaraloside F from Astragalus amarus and Astragalus villosissimus

The glycosides of the plantAstragalus villosissimus Bunge have been studied. Four glycosides have been isolated from the roots of this plant, and two of them have been identified as -sitosterol -D-glucopyranoside and cycloaraloside C.

It is a trioside of cyclosieversigenin containing two molecules of D-glucose and one molecule of D-apiose. On the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics, the structure of cycloaraloside F has been established as 20R, 24S-epoxycycloartane-3,6,16,25-tetraol 3-0-[O-D-apio--D-furanosyl-(12)--D-glucopyranoside] 25-O--D-glucopyranoside.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXI. Occurrence of Cycloartane 6-O-Monodesmosides

Cyclosiversigenin 6-O--L-rhamnopyranoside and 6-O--D-glucopyranoside were isolated fromAstragalus coluteocarpusBoiss. (Leguminosae) andAstragalus dissectusB. Fedtsch. et N. Ivanova, respectively. Cyclosiversigenin 5-O--L-rhamnopyranoside was shown to be an artifact forAstragalus coluteocarpus.Thus, the cyclosiversigenin 6-O--D-glucopyranoside that was isolated from certainAstragalusspecies is hypothesized also to be an artifact. Glycosylation of the 6 -hydroxyl group of cycloartanes by D-glucose and D-xylose, in contrast with other substituents, does not change the low-field position of the PMR signal of the 4-CH ₃ group (1.65 2.01 ppm) that is caused by the influence of deuteropyridine directly on the 6 -hydroxyl. Obviously one of the hydroxyls of the -D-glucopyranoside or -D-xylopyranoside residues has the same effect in this instance.     

Steroids of the furostan and spirostan series from Nolina microcarpa II. structures of nolinospiroside D and nolinofurosides D, E, and F

Proofs are given of the structures of two new glycosides of the furostan series isolated from the leaves of the plantNolina microscarpa S. Wats. (family Dracaenaceae). Nolinofuroside D is (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 1-O--D-galactopyranoside 26-O--D-glucopyranoside (I), and nolinofuroside F is (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 1-O--D-fucopyranoside 26-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (VII). The latter was characterized as its 22-O-methyl ether (VIII). Nolinofuroside E (IV) has the structure of (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 26-O--glucopyranoside 1-O-[O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--D-fucopyranoside], which followed from the structure of the fermentation product (VI). The products of the fermentation of the above-named compounds were present in the plant in only trace amounts. Only one of them — nolinospiroside D (III) — has not been described previously. This monoside of the spirostan series is (25S)-spirost-5-ene-1,3-diol 1-O--D-galactopyranoside.M. V. Frunze Simferopol' State University.
