Syntheses of chlorogenin 6alpha-O-acyl-3-O-beta-chacotriosides and their antitumor activities

Carbohydr Res. 2005 Jun 13;340(8):1453-9. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2005.03.019.

Abstract

Chlorogenin 3-O-beta-chacotrioside (1) and its 6alpha-O-acyl derivatives (2-6) were concisely synthesized. Introduction of a hydroxyl or acyloxy group onto the C-6 of the steroidal aglycone of dioscin decreased significantly the cytotoxicity of the parent saponin (dioscin).
