Abstract:

Fourteen steroidal saponins were isolated from Asparagus filicinus Bush. -Ham., Agave sisalana Dong No 1, Chlorophytum malayense Ridley and Diuranthera major Hemsl., of which thirteen are new compounds. The structure elucidation of these saponins were achieved by a combination of chemical and spectral methods.

Key words: Asparagus filicinus, Agave sisalana Dong No 1, Chlorophytum malayense, Diuranthera major , Steroidal saponins
