Planta Med. 2012 Apr;78(6):611-6. | Steroidal glycosides from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides and their antiplatelet aggregation activity.[Pubmed: 22307934] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Five new steroidal glycosides, timosaponin J ( 1), timosaponin K ( 2), (25 S)-karatavioside C ( 5), timosaponin L ( 6), and (25 S)-officinalisnin-I ( 8), together with eight known steroidal saponins, timosaponin E (1) ( 3), purpureagitosid ( 4), timosaponin BII ( 7), timosaponin B III ( 9), Anemarrhenasaponin I ( 10), Anemarrhenasaponin III ( 11), anemarrhenasaponin A (2) ( 12), and timosaponin A III ( 13), were isolated from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides.
Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.
CONCLUSIONS:
The aglycones of compounds 1 and 2 are new aglycones. Compounds 1- 13 were evaluated for their platelet aggregation activities, and compound 13 exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation. | Clin Chim Acta. 1999 Nov;289(1-2):79-88. | Effect of six steroidal saponins isolated from anemarrhenae rhizoma on platelet aggregation and hemolysis in human blood.[Pubmed: 10556655] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
Six steroidal saponins were isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (Liliaceae), a traditional chinese medicine, and named Anemarrhenasaponin I (An-I), Anemarrhenasaponin Ia (An-Ia), timosaponin B-I (TB-I), timosaponin B-II (TB-II), timosaponin B-III (TB-III), and timosaponin A-III (TA-III). The effects of these six compounds on platelet aggregation and hemolysis in human blood were studied. All these compounds provoked remarkable inhibiting effect on platelet aggregation, and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) are sensitive to the presence of these six compounds. Using an in vitro system, APTT was delayed with the increment of the concentrations of these six compounds. In these six compounds, only timosaponin A-III appeared a strong effect on hemolysis, and Anemarrhenasaponin Ia had a slight effect on hemolysis, other had no effect on hemolysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggested that these steroidal saponins isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (Liliaceae) might be used as a novel antithrombotic therapeutic agents in post-myocardial infarction. |
