title: New pregnane glycosides from Cynanchum ascyrifolium.
abstract: Two new pregnane glycosides, cynascyrosides D and E, were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum ascyrifolium. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence as cynajapogenin A 3-O-alpha-L-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-L-cymaropyranoside and cynajapogenin A 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-L-diginopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-L-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-digitoxopyranoside.
