Nine spirostanol saponins (1-9) and seven mixtures of 25 R and 25 S spirostanol saponin isomers (10-16) were obtained from the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum after enzymatic hydrolysis of the furostanol saponin fraction by β-glucosidase. Their structures were determined by NMR and MS
Spirostanol saponins are a class of steroidal saponins with many pharmacological activities. The structural complexity of the spirostanol saponins presents a daunting challenge in separating their 25 R/S diastereomers. Using two CHIRALPAK IC columns coupled in series, six 25 (R/S)-spirostanol
The seed of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) has been reported to be rich in saponins, especially the dioscin or diosgenin, which are natural anti-diabetic agents with relatively low toxicity. Thus, the present study was to purify the saponins and sapogenins from fenugreek and to evaluate
