Abstract:
Seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L., as a raditional Chinese medicine, are rich n steroidal saponins. The systematic research on steroidal saponins of Trigonella foenum-graecum, including the study on furostanol saponins and spirostanol saponins, the rapid characterization and dentification of steroidal saponins, and he analytical and preparative separation of C-25 R/S-spirostanol saponin diastereomers using supercritical fluid chromatography, was performed. The results of research are helpful to the development and utilization of Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds, and the methods could provide reference for the chemical research on other traditional Chinese medicines.
