- Steroidal glycosides from Ruscus ponticus
-
A comparative metabolite profiling of the underground parts and leaves of Ruscus ponticus was obtained by an HPLC-ESIMSn method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray positive ionization multistage ion trap mass spectrometry. The careful study of HPLC-ESIMSn fragmentation pattern of each chromatographic peak, in particular the identification of diagnostic product ions, allowed us to get a rapid screening of saponins belonging to different classes, such as dehydrated/or not furostanol, spirostanol and pregnane glycosides, and to promptly highlight similarities and differences between the two plant parts. This approach, followed by isolation and structure elucidation by 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments, led to the identification of eleven saponins from the underground parts, of which two dehydrated furostanol glycosides and one new vespertilin derivative, and nine saponins from R. ponticus leaves, never reported previously. The achieved results highlighted a clean prevalence of furostanol glycoside derivatives in R. ponticus leaves rather in the underground parts of the plant, which showed a wider structure variety. In particular, the occurrence of dehydrated furostanol derivatives, for the first time isolated from a Ruscus species, is an unusual finding which makes unique the saponins profile of R. ponticus.

- New neuritogenic steroidal saponin from Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker-Gawl
-
A new steroidal saponin was isolated from Ophiopogon japonicus. This saponin possesses a modification by 2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerylation of the hydroxyl group at C-4' of the sugar, linked to C-1 of the aglycone. It exhibited significant neuritogenic activity for PC12 cells. The structure-activity relationship revealed the aglycone, rather than the sugar moieties and acylation, to be important for the neuritogenic activity.

- Steroidal glycosides from the underground parts of Dracaena thalioides and their cytotoxic activity
-
Six spirostanol glycosides (1-6) and 12 known compounds (7-18) were isolated from the underground parts of Dracaena thalioides (Agavaceae). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 2D NMR spectroscopic data, and chemical transformations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against HL-60 human leukemia cells. Compounds 1, 3-6, and 8-18 showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells, of which 10, a bisdesmosidic spirostanol derivative, showed potent cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells with an IC50 value of 0.38 μM and induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells.

- Steroidal glycosides from the bulbs of Ornithogalum thyrsoides
-
Phytochemical analyses have been carried out on the fresh bulbs of Ornithogalum thyrsoides with particular attention to the steroidal glycoside constituents, resulting in the isolation of four new spirostanol saponins and seven new cholestane glycosides, together with three known steroidal compounds. The structures of the new glycosides were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR spectroscopy, and the results of hydrolytic cleavage. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and HSC-2 human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.

- CONVERSION OF RUSCOGENIN INTO 1α- AND 1β-HYDROXYCHOLESTEROL DERIVATIVES STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION BY COMPUTER ASSISTED ANALYSIS OF THEIR LANTHANIDE-INDUCED NMR SHIFTS
-
The chemistry of ruscogenin (1) was studied since its structural features qualify it to serve as a potential starting material for 1-hydroxy vitamin D analogs.Ruscogenin was oxidized to the 1-oxo-derivative 2 which was reduced to a mixture of ruscogenin (1) and 1-epiruscogenin (3).Both 1 and 3 were converted by Clemmensen reduction to the respective tetrols 12 and 21, which were further reduced to the triols 15 and 25 and diols 16 and 24 by consecutive treatment with p-toluenesulfonylchloride and LAH.The reduction of triol 15 to diol 20 was achieved by selective benzoylation of positions 1 and 3, and mesylation of position 16 followed by LAH reduction.The utility of the shift reagent Eu(dpm)3 to determine the structures of the products was studied.It was shown that the shifts induced are characteristic of the position and orientation of the OH groups, and can facilitate the elucidation of the structures of hydroxylated steroids.
