Natural product bioactivities and synthesis

Three new steroidal saponins were isolated from the rhizomes of Smilax officinalis. The structures of these saponins were established by extensive spectral data, hydrolysis and chemical correlation as sarsasapogenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6 )-beta- D-glucopyranoside, neotigogenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6 )]-beta- D-glucopyranoside and 25S-spirostan-6 beta-ol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6 )]-beta- D-glucopyranoside. Acid hydrolysis of the latter compound gave a sapogenin which has a new orientation of an hydroxyl on the steroidal skeleton. A route is proposed for the biogenesis of the latter sapogenin which is an uncommon steroidal aglycone.
