New glycosides from the rhizomes of Tacca chantrieri

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2007 Feb;55(2):273-9. doi: 10.1248/cpb.55.273.

Abstract

Five new glycosides, which are classified into two bisdesmosidic pseudofurostanol glycosides (1, 2), two new ergostanol glycosides (3, 4), and a new phenolic glycoside (5), were isolated from the rhizomes of Tacca chantrieri. The structures of 1-5 were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including that of two-dimensional (2D) NMR data, as well as hydrolytic cleavage followed by spectroscopic and chromatographic analyses.
