Abstract: | The seeds of Stapelia gigantea are very rich in ester glycosides (ca. 5,9%). Mild acid hydrolysis gave a mixture of sugars which, after paper chromatography and electrophoresis, was found to be probably composed of cymarose, oleandrose, digitoxose, arabino-2,6-dideoxyhexose (= canarose) and pachybiose. The mixture of the raw genins gave after alkaline hydrolysis a mixture of about nine deacyl genins (C, D, E, F1, F2, F3, G, H, J); the acids split off during hydrolysis were not identified. The nine deacyl genins are probably closely related pregnane derivatives. The main component (E), C21H30O4, was obtained in crystalline state, and was named stapelogenin. Its probable structure is reported in the following publication. |
