Ecdysteroids of a culture of tissues and cells ofAjuga turkestanica

The possibility has been studied of obtaining ecdysteroids — ecdysterone and turkesterone — with the aid of a culture of the tissues and cells of the plantAjuga turkestanica. Conditions have been selected under which the yield of ecdysteroids in the culture of tissues and cells is comparable with amounts of the same substances in the organs of the whole plant.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Triterpene glycosides and their genins fromThalictrum foetidum. I. The structure of foetoside C

A new glycoside — foetoside C — has been isolated from the epigeal part ofThalictrum foetidum L. and, on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics its structure has been established as oleanolic acid 28-[O-α-D-glycopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside] 3-O-[O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside].     

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.

Steroids of the spirostan and furostan series from nolina microcarpa III. Structure of nolinofurosides G and H

Two new glycosides which have been called nolinofurosides G(I) and H(III), have been isolated from the leaves ofNolina microcarpa. Nolinofuroside G is the sodium salt of 26-β-D-glucofuranosyloxy-(25S)-furost-5,20(22)-diene-1β, 3β-diol 1-sulfate, and nolinofuroside H is the sodium salt of 1-β-D-fucopyranosyloxy-26-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-(25S)-furost-5,20(22)-dinen-1β-3β-ol 3-sulfate.

Steroids of the spirostan and furostan series from plants of the genus Allium. XXV. Structure of anzurogenin B from Allium suvorovii and Allium Stipitatum

A new genin of the spirostan series — anzurogenin B having the structure of 2,5-epoxy-(25R)-spirostan-3,6-diol — has been isolated form the collective fruit of the cocultivatedAllium suvorovii Rgl. andAllium stipitatum Rgl. (family Liliaceae).Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent. Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 218–221, March–April, 1988.     

Phytoecdysteroids of plants of the genusSilene. VII. Sileneoside D — ecdysterone 3-O-α-D-galactopyranoside fromSilene brahuica

A phytoecdysteroid, sileneoside D, has been isolated from the roots ofSilene brahuica Boiss. and it has been shown to be ecdysterone 3-O-α-D-galactopyranoside.     

Phytoecdysteroids of plants of the genus Silene. XV. 2-Deoxy-α-ecdysone 22-O-benzoate from Silene wallichiana

A new phytoecdysteroid, 2-deoxy-α-ecdysone 22-O-benzoate, has been isolated from the epigeal organs ofSilene wallichiana Klotzch.     

Steroids of the spirostan and furostan series from plants of the genus Allium. XXVII. Alliosterol and allosides A and B from Allium suvorovii and Allium stipitatum — Structural analogs of furostanols

Two new glycosides of the cholestane series (allosides A and B) have been isolated from the fruit of the cocultivatedAllium suvorovii Rgi. andAllium stipitatum Rgl. (family Liliaceae, local name anzur). The acid hydrolysis of both compounds gave a sterol not previously described, which has been called alliosterol and has the structure of (22S)-cholest-5-ene-1, 3, 16, 22-tetraol, and the product of its dehvdration, which is (16S, 22S)-furost-5-ene-1, 3-diol. Alloside A is the 16-O--D-galactopyranoside, and alloside B the 16-O--D-galactopyranoside 1-O--D-glucopyranoside of alliosterol.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
