title: Oligofurostanosides from Asparagus curillus leaves.
abstract: The methanol extracted leaves of Asparagus curillus furnished two oligospirostanosides (curillins G and H) and two oligofurostanosides (curillosides G and H) which were characterized as 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-(25S)-5 beta- spirostan-3 beta-ol; 3-O-[(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2))(-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1--> 4))-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-(25S)-5 beta, spirostan-,3 beta-ol; 3-O-[(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)) (beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4))-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-26-O-[beta-D- glucopyranosyl]-22 alpha-methoxy-(25S)-5 beta-furostan-3 beta,26-diol and 3-O-[(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2))-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4))- beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-26-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-(25S)-5 beta-furostan-3 beta,22 alpha,26-triol, respectively.
