Isolation and characterization of cytotoxic and antibacterial tetrasaccharide glycosides from Ipomoea stans

J Nat Prod. 1995 Nov;58(11):1730-4. doi: 10.1021/np50125a014.

Abstract

Three new tetrasaccharide glycosides, differing from one reported previously in the type of short-chain fatty acids ester-linked to the tetrasaccharide core, have been isolated and identified from an oligosaccharide fraction of Ipomea stans. Preliminary screening tests showed that the fraction containing these compounds had pronounced cytotoxicity towards three human tumor cell lines as well as specific antibiotic activity against two bacterial strains.
