Triterpeneglycosides of Astragalus and their genins. XXV. Cyclocanthoside D from Astragalus tragacantha

The epigeal part of the plant ofAstragalus tragacantha Habl. (Leguminosae) has yielded, together with cyclosieversigenin 3-O--D-xylopyranoside, a new glycoside of the cycloartane series — cyclocanthoside D, the structure of which has been established on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics as 24S-cycloartane-3,6,16,24,25-pentaol 16-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--D-xylopyranoside.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
