Abstract
Eight steroidal saponins have been isolated from Yucca schidigera Roezl. trunk, and their structures were established by spectral (MS and NMR) techniques. These included three novel furostanol glycosides including 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl-5β(25R)-furostan-3β,22α,26-triol 26-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, 3-O-β-d-glcopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl-5β(25R)-furost-20(22)-en-3β,26-diol-12-one 26-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, 3-O-β-d-glcopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-5β(25R)-furostan-3β,22α,26-triol 26-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, and five known spirostanol glycosides. On the basis of the extraction efficiency, furostanol glycosides made up only 6.8% of total saponins isolated.
