Steroidal glycosides of Tribulus terrestris Linn
Abstract
Besides β-sitosterol-β-D-glucoside and dioscin, two new steroidal glycosides, neohecogenin glucoside and tribulosin, isolated from the aerial part of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were respectively shown to be neohecogenin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) and neotigogenin-3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→2)-[β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (7).
