From the overground part o f Tribulus terrestris L. a saponine mixture was isolated in a quantity of 2,8% containing 10 steroid substances (from A t o K). A small admixture of phenol was also proved (fig. 1). With the help of repeated column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography the saponines C, F and G were isolated (Fig. 2). Saponine F proved to be a new product: tigogenine-3-diglucorhamnoside, named by us terrestroside F, the partial structure of which was determined on the basis of the hydrolytic products: aglykon tigogenine (identified by m. p., mixed m. p., 1R-and mass spectrum, acetyl derivative) and an oligosaccharide partrhamnose : glucose (2 : 1). The saponines C and G proved to be a mixture of two tigogenine and diosgenine glycosides each. The mixture of aglykons was separated by column chromatography on silica gel containing silver nitrate and identified by the above mentioned indices as tigogenine and diosgenine,(Table I). In the hydrolysates the sugars glucose and rhamnose were proved. A flatronoide was also isolated which was identified as astragaline (caempferol-3-glucoside).
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.
