A new steroidal saponin was isolated from the leaves of Agave attenuata Salm-Dyck. Its structure was established as (3 ,5 ,22α,25S)-26-( -d-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-methoxyfuros-The structural identification was performed using detailed analyses of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (COSY, HETCOR and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The haemolytic potential of the steroidal saponin was evaluated and the anti-inflammatory activity was performed using the capillary permeability assay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
