ISOLATION AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO SAPONINS FROM THE ROOTS OF Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’

Sansevieria is a genus consisting of about 60 species natively distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Many are used for ornamental purposes or traditional medicine to treat human diseases. trifasciata ‘Laurentii,’ commonly known as snake plant, an evergreen perennial plant medicine. The phytochemical investigation the roots S. ‘Laurentii’ resulted isolation structural characterization two previously reported saponins: (24S,25R)-1b-[(β-D-fucopyranosyl)oxy]-3b-hydroxyspirost-5-en-24-yl β-D-glucopyranoside (1) 26-[(β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3β,22α-dihydroxyfurosta-5,25(27)-dien-1β-yl-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside (2) by analysis their 1D 2D NMR spectra HR-ESI-MS, together with comparison data published literature.
