Panthogenins A and B, two novel norergostanol steroids from Dioscorea panthaica

Two novel 27-norergostanol steroids, panthogenins A (1) and B (2), possessing unusual rings E and F featuring a ketal moiety at C-25 were isolated from rhizomes ofDioscorea panthaica. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D...

Description
Summary:Two novel 27-norergostanol steroids, panthogenins A (1) and B (2), possessing unusual rings E and F featuring a ketal moiety at C-25 were isolated from rhizomes ofDioscorea panthaica. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR techniques, and the structure of panthogenin A was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Both compounds showed potent in vitro insulin sensitizing activity.
