Triterpene glycosides of Astragalus and their genins. XXIV. Cycloorbicoside G from Astragalus orbiculatus

A bisdesmosidic glycoside — cycloorbicoside G — has been isolated from the epigeal parts of the plantAstragalus orbiculatus Ledeb. (Leguminosae), and on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics its structure has been established as (23R,24S)-16,23;16,24-diepoxycycloartane-3,7,25-triol 25-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--D-xylopyranoside.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, 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.

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].

Cardiac glycosides of Cheiranthus allioni. IX

Summary From the seends ofCheiranthus allioni hort. another three cardiac glycosides have been isolated. One of them has been identified as cheirotoxin. It has been established that in cheirotoxin the D-glucose is attached to C₄ of the D-gulomethylose and this glycoside therefore has the structure of strophanthidin 3-O-[4-O--D-glucopyranosyl--D-gulomethylopyranoside]. The two other glycosides, which have been named sarmentogulomethyloside and gulosarmentoglucoside are new and are, respectively, sarmentogenin-3-O--D-gulomethylopyranoside and sarmentogenin 3-O-[4-O--D-glucopyranosyl--D-gulomethylopyranoside].For Communication VIII see [1].Khar'kov Scientific-Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
