Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(80)87046-4

From the seed of fenugreek, a new glycoside has been isolated and shown to have the structure, (25S)-22-O-methyl-5α-furostan-3β,22,26-triol 3-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)<-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->3)>-β-D-glucopyranoside-26-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.Key Word Index - Trigonella foenumgraecum; Fabaceae; fenugreek; furostanol glycoside; spirostanol
