New oxypregnane glycosides from Caralluma penicillata

Planta Med. 2002 May;68(5):430-4. doi: 10.1055/s-2002-32078.

Abstract

The ether fraction of the defatted ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Caralluma penicillata (defl) M. E. Br. (Asclepiadaceae) yielded four new oxypregnane glycosides, penicillosides D-G. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by different spectroscopic methods.
