A new triterpene glycoside — silphioside E — has been isolated from the epigeal part ofSilphium perfoliatum L. and its structure has been established on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics as oleanolic acid 28-0-β-D-glycopyranoside 3-0-[0-β-D-glycopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucopyranoside].     

Triterpene glycosides ofSilphium perfoliatum. IV. Structure of siliphioside C

The epigeal part ofSilphium perfoliatum has a yielded a new triterpene glycoside, silphioside C — C₅₀H₈₀O₁₉, mp 207–210°C (from aqueous methanol), []_D ²⁵ +19.3 ± 2°C (c 0.88; methanol). On the basis of acid hydrolysis, mild alkaline saponification, and the results of GLC and of IR, mass, and¹H and¹³C spectroscopy the structure of silphioside C had been established as 28--D-glucopyranosyl 3-O-[O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-(6-O-acetyl--D-glucopyranosyl)oleanolate.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Alkali-soluble polysaccharides of the stems ofSilphium perfoliatum

The results are given of an investigation of a polysaccharide complex of the stems of the cup rosinweed isolated by alkaline extraction of the stems. The complex contains 71% of polysaccharide, 2% of ash substances, and 20% of crude protein. The carbohydrate moiety consists of a glucuronoxylan. The complex is not separated into its carbohydrate and protein constituents under the conditions of gel filtration and electrophoresis but the maxima of the elution curves of the components of the complex in gel filtration do not coincide, which indicates the absence of a strong bond between the protein and the carbohydrate.M.
