Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents in the total saponin from Trigonellf foenum-graecum.
METHODThe compounds were isolated by column chromatography on macroporous resin and silica gel and elucidated by physical and chemical evidences and spectroscopic analysis.
RESULTTwo compounds were obtained and identifiedas methyl-protodioscin and methyl-protodeltonin.
CONCLUSIONMethyl-protodioscin and methyl-protodeltonin were isolated from this plant for the first time.
