GLYCOSIDES OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES. XV. A NEW TRITERPENE GLYCOSIDE - HOLOTHURIN A1 - FROM CARIBBEAN HOLOTHURIANS OF THE FAMILY HOLOTHURIIDAE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00579637

A glycoside, holothurin A₁ has been isolated from the polar glycosidic fractions of the holothurians H. floridana and H. grisea.The complete structure of the glycoside has been established; it is: 3β-3)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-O-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1->2)-(4-sulfato-β-D-xylopyranosyl)oxy>holosta-9(11)-ene-12α,17α,22ξ-triol.Details of the IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compounds obtained are given.
