Isolation and identification of a new biotransformation compound by Fusarium sacchari from saponin of Panax notoginseng leaves / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the chemical constituents of transformed products by Fusarium sacchari and to find the rare ginsenosides with anti-tumor effects from the leaves of Panax notoginseng. Methods The compound isolated was separated by repeated silica gel,Sephadex LH-20,and HPLC chromatography. The structure was identified by analysis of its spectral data.Results A dammarane-type triterpene, notoginsenoside-LZ,20(S)-3?-hydroxy-12?,23-epoxy-dammar-24-ene-20-O-?-D-xylopyranosyl (1→6)-?-D-glucopyranoside,was isolated from the transformed products.Conclusion Notoginsenoside-LZ is a new compound.
