Steroidal glycosides from the underground parts of Solanum sodomaeum

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2006 Feb;54(2):230-3. doi: 10.1248/cpb.54.230.

Abstract

A new steroidal glycoside has been isolated from the underground parts of Solanum sodomaeum L., along with seven known steroidal glycosides. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence, and the structure of one known pregnane type glycoside was corrected. In addition, their antiproliferative activity against human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells was investigated, and five compounds exhibited stronger activity than cisplatin.
