The synthesis and characterization of the naturally occurring steroid sapogenin laxogenin and its derivatives 23-ketolaxogenin and (23S)-hydroxylaxogenin were described. Compounds reported have shown plant-growth-stimulating activity in tests and field trials. The effect consisted of an increase of the length of the treated hypocotyls compared with that of the non-treated plants. Results showed that when the same solutions were applied to the seeds of orange tree, a strong promotion of the germination was observed.
