Of the seven triterpene glycosides present in the leaves of Hedera colchica C. Koch, (ram. Araliaceae) -Colchis ivy, which we have called hederacolchisides, we have previously isolated and characterized the three most polar [i, 2]. In continuation of these investigations, we have succeeded in isolating another three, comparatively nonpolar, compounds present in the total in minor amount -hederacolchisides A', A, and C.Complete acid hydrolysis showed that glycosides A' and C, with mp 222-226 and 168-176°C (decomp.), respectively, were derivatives of oleanolic acid, while glycoside A, with mp ±68-176°C (decomp.), was a hederagenin derivative. By PC and TLC, and by the GLC of the monosaccharides in the form of their polyol acetates on a Chrom-5 instrument [3], it was establishedthat the carbohydrate moieties of hederacolchisides A' and A contained rhamnose, arabinose, and glucose residues in a ratio of i:i:i, and that of hederacolchiside C contained the same residues in a ratio of 2:1:2.According to the results of UR spectroscopy and alkaline hydrolysis, in glycosides A' and A the monosaccharides were attached in position 3 of the aglycons, while in glycoside C an ester bond was found, in addition.The determination of the complete chemical structures of the glycosides isolated is continuing.
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.
