Abstract

Five steroidal saponins, shatavarins VI-X, together with five known saponins, shatavarin I (or asparoside B), shatavarin IV (or asparinin B), shatavarin V, immunoside and schidigerasaponin D5 (or asparanin A), have been isolated from the roots of Asparagus racemosus by RP-HPLC and characterized by spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR experiments) and spectrometric (LCMS) methods.
