Bioassay-guided fractionation of the crude extract (80% EtOH) of the leaves of Cestrum schlechtendahlii, a plant used by Q'eqchi' Maya healers for treatment of athlete's foot, resulted in the isolation and identification of two spirostanol saponins (1 and 2). Structure elucidation by MS, 1D-NMR, and 2D-NMR spectroscopic methods identified them to be the known saponin (25R)-1β,2α-dihydroxy-5α-spirostan-3-β-yl-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and new saponin (25R)-1β,2α-dihydroxy-5α-spirostan-3-β-yl-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (2). While 2 showed little or no antifungal activity at the highest concentration tested, 1 inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 15-25 μM), Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Fusarium graminearum (MIC of 132-198 μM).
生物测定指导下对用于治疗足癣的 Q'eqchi' 玛雅治疗师所使用的希氏离瓣苣苔叶的 80%乙醇粗提物进行分段,得到两种螺旋甾烷醇皂苷(1 和 2)的分离和鉴定。通过 MS、1D-NMR 和 2D-NMR 光谱方法进行结构阐明,鉴定它们为已知皂苷(25R)-1β,2α-二羟基-5α-螺旋甾烷-3-β-基-O-α-L-鼠李吡喃糖苷基-(1 → 2)-β-D-半乳糖吡喃糖苷(1)和新皂苷(25R)-1β,2α-二羟基-5α-螺旋甾烷-3-β-基-O-β-D-半乳糖吡喃糖苷(2)。虽然 2 在测试的最高浓度下几乎没有或没有抗真菌活性,但 1 抑制酿酒酵母(最小抑菌浓度(MIC)为 15-25 μM)、白色念珠菌、新型隐球菌和禾谷镰刀菌的生长(MIC 为 132-198 μM)。
