Ocotillol-type saponins are one kind of tetracyclic triterpenoids, sharing a tetrahydrofuran ring. Natural ocotillol-type saponins have been discovered in L., , , and Vietnamese ginseng. In recent years, the semisynthesis of 20(/)-ocotillol-type saponins has been reported. The biological activities of ocotillol-type saponins include neuroprotective effect, antimyocardial ischemia, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumor activities. Owing to their chemical structure, pharmacological actions, and the stereoselective activity on antimyocardial ischemia, ocotillol-type saponins are subjected to extensive consideration. In this review, we sum up the discovery, semisynthesis, biological activities, and metabolism of ocotillol-type saponins.
奥科梯隆型皂苷是一类四环三萜类化合物,具有一个四氢呋喃环。在人参、三七、竹节参和越南人参中发现了天然的奥科梯隆型皂苷。近年来,已有关于20(/)-奥科梯隆型皂苷半合成的报道。奥科梯隆型皂苷的生物活性包括神经保护作用、抗心肌缺血、抗炎、抗菌和抗肿瘤活性。由于其化学结构、药理作用以及对抗心肌缺血的立体选择性活性,奥科梯隆型皂苷受到了广泛关注。在这篇综述中,我们总结了奥科梯隆型皂苷的发现、半合成、生物活性和代谢情况。
