DOI: 10.1016/s1875-5364(21)60098-5
Abstract: Two cardenolide glycosides, corotoxigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] ( 1 ) and coroglaucigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] ( 2 ), were isolated from the seed fairs of Asclepias curassavica L.. The structures of 1 − 2 were determined based on a… read more here.
