Steroidal saponins from the fruits of Cestrum ruizteranianum

Nat Prod Commun. 2011 Dec;6(12):1825-6.

Abstract

Seven spirostane and furostane-type glycosides were isolated from the aqueous methanolic extract of the fruits of Cestrum ruizteranianum and characterized mainly by 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These known saponins belong to the delta5-spirostene and delta5-furostene series and are reported in this species for the first time.
