A novel C27-steroidal glycoside sulfate from Liriope graminifolia / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

An unusual novel C27-steroidal glycoside sulfate was isolated from the underground organs of Liriope graminifolia (Linn.) Baker with three known compounds. Their chemical structures were determined by spectral analysis, including HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR as (25S)-ruscogenin 1-sulfate-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), (25S)-ruscogenin 1-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (2), hesperidin (3), and 4', 7-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavanone (4). Compound 1 has cytotoxic activities against K562 and HL60 cells with IC50 values of 18.6 microg x mL(-1) and 16.5 microg x mL(-1), respectively.
