Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(88)80033-5

Four steroidal compounds were isolated from the fresh flowers of Yucca gloriosa and their structures were elucidated as tigogenin 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-lycotetraoside, gitogenin 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-lycotetraoside, gitogenin 3-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-β-lycotetroside and proto-type of gitogenin 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-lycotetraoside, on the basis of physical and chemical investigation.Key Word Index - Yucca gloriosa; Liliaceae; tigogenin glycoside; gitogenin glycosides; furostanol glycoside.
