Abstract:
From the MeOH extract of the seeds of Fevillea trilobata (Cucurbitaceae) were isolated fevicordin A glucoside [1], cayaponoside B [2], cayaponoside D [3], a new norcucurbitacin glucoside, and a new heptanorcucurbitacin glucoside. The structure of the new norcucurbitacin glucoside, andirobicin A glucoside, was established as 29-nor-1,2,3,4,5,10-dehydro-25-methoxy-2-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl- 3,16 alpha,20R,22 xi-tetrahydroxy-11-oxocucurbit-23-ene [4], and that of the novel heptanorcucurbitacin glucoside, andirobicin B glucoside, as 22,23,24,25,26,27,29-heptanor-1,2,3,4,5,10-dehydro-2-O-beta-D-g luc opyranosyl-3,16 alpha-dihydroxycucurbita-11,20-dione [5].
