Abstract
A new saponin has been isolated from a tropical plant Chrysantellum procumbens Rich, which is thought to be useful in the therapy of digestive troubles. The structure of this saponin was determined by chemical methods, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. The aglycone moiety is a triterpene, echinocystic acid; d‐glucose, d‐xylose and l‐rhamnose are carbohydrate components. The structure of saponin was established as 3‐O‐β‐d‐glucopyranosyl [l‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(α1 → 3)‐d‐xylopyranosyl‐(β1 → 4)‐l‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(α1 → 2)‐d‐xylopyranosyl]‐(α1 → 28)‐echinocystyl. The name, chrysantellin A, is proposed for this new saponin.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
