Previously, we have reported the isolation and structural
assignment of four new spirostanol glucosides,
three new furostanol glucosides and a new pregnane
glucoside from the fresh leaves of Cordyline stricta,
which is the first example of the isolation of the steroidal
glucosides from a plant of the genus Cordyline
[1]. Further phytochemical analysis of the plant
material has resulted in the isolation of three new
spirostanol saponins and two new furostanol
saponins. This paper deals with the structural determination
of the new saponins based on spectroscopic
analysis, including various 2D-NMR techniques,
hydrolysis, and by comparison of spectral data of
known compounds.
