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.

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.

Isoflavones of the roots of Lupinus luteus

Conclusions For the first time in the isoflavone series, a compound which has the structure of 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxyisoflavone (3,4-methylenedioxyorobol) and two of its glucosides — 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucoside and 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside — and also a genistein C-monoglucoside, have been described. The isoflavones were isolated from the roots ofLupinus luteus L. by preparative chromatography on paper and on columns of polyamide. In addition, the previously known genistein, genistein 7-O--D-glucoside (genistin), and genistein 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside have been obtained.V. F.

Alkaloids of Aconitum kirinense. Structure of akirine

The known alkaloid lepenine and the new diterpene alkaloid akirine have been isolated from the epigeal part ofAconitum kirinense Nakai. To establish the structure of akirine, its spectral characteristics have been studied and an x-ray structural analysis has been made.

Steroids of the spirostan and furostan series of plants of the Allium genus. XXIII. Structure of cepagenin and of alliospirosides C and D from Allium cepa

Two new steroid glycosides of the spirostan series have been isolated from the fruit ofAllium cepa L. (family Liliaceae): alliospirosides C and D. On the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics it has been established that the aglycon of both glycosides is a new steroid sapogenin — cepagenin — having the structure of (24S,25R)-spirost-5-ene-1,3,24-triol. Alliospirosides C and D are cepagenin 1-O-[O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-L-arabinopyranoside] and 1-O-[O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-galactopyranoside], respectively.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.
