Abstract: | Two new pregnane glycosides, named dracaenoside C and D, were isolated from the fresh stems of Dracaena cochinchinensis. Their structures were established as 3β,14α-dihydroxypregna-5,16(17)-diene-20-one?3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 3β,14α-dihydroxypregna-5,16(17)-diene-20-one?3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)]-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) by means of 2D NMR spectral and chemical methods. |
