Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00601288

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.
