Abstract:
From the ethanol extract of the
Anemarrhena asphodeloides Buge (Liliaceae), a new steroidal suponin anemarsaponin B and two known saponinsanemarsaponin A1 and A2 were isolated. On the basis of chemical evidences and spectralanalysis (UV, IR, EI-MS, FAB-MS,
1H-NMR and
13C - NMR), the structure ofanemarsaponin B was elucidated as 26-O-
β-D - glucopyranosylfurost -20(22)-ene-3
β,26-diol-3-O-
β-D- glucopyranosyl (1→2 ) -
β-D- galactotopyranoside. Preiminarypharmacological tests showed that anemarsaponin B could inhibit PAF-induced rabbitplatelet aggregation in vitro.
