The chemical composition and structures of the steroid glycosides forming the active principle of the preparation "tribestan", which is used for treating impotence and female infertility, have been studied.It has been shown that together with trillin, prosapogenin A of dioscin, trillarin, dioscin, gracillin, protodioscin and protogracillin, tribestane contains a diosgenin rhamnoglucoside sulfated in position 4 of the glucose residue, the structure of which has been shown by chemical and physicochemical methods.

A new cytotoxic principle, steroidal saponin afromontoside (1), has been isolated from a methanolic extract of the twigs of Dracaena afromontana.It was shown to be (25R)-furost-5-ene-3β,22α,26-triol 26-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside 3-O-(4)>-β-D-glucopyranoside) by spectral and chemical methods.The aglycone of afromotoside, diosgenin, as well as dihydrodiosgenin and severall structurally related compounds have been shown to be cytotoxic to cultured KB cells.
