Insignin A, A Novel C_21-Steroidal Aglycone from Biondia insignis

摘要

Insignin A, a new C21-steroidal aglycone having the rare 15,16-seco pregnane skeleton was isolated from the acidic hydrolysis part of the 95% EtOH extract of Biondia insignis. It’s structure was identified to be 15R,16-epoxy-3?,14?,16?-trihydroxy-15,16-secopregn-5-ene-20-one based on the spectral data.
