AbstractThe roots of Trachycalymma fimbriatum (WEIMARCK) BULLOCK contain both cardenolide and pregnaneglycosides. Elimination of 2‐deoxysugars by mild acid hydrolysis gave a mixture from which some anhydroderivatives and the following compounds could be isolated: uzarigenin (l), ascleposide = 3‐O‐(6‐deoxy‐β‐D‐allopyranosyl)‐uzarigenin (4), coroglaucigenin (6) and two pregnane derivatives (H and J). Compound H could be identified as 3β,14β‐dihydroxy5α, 17α‐pregnan‐20‐one (10). Compound J is probably a new substance, for which we tentatively assign structure 18, i.e. 3β8β,14β‐trihydroxy‐5α,17α‐pregnan‐20‐one. We suspect H and J to be artefacts produced from the corresponding 17b‐derivatives during acid hydrolysis. 17‐iso‐H is probably a precursor in the biosynthesis of uzarigenin. The cardenolides of Trachycalymma fimbriatum are the same as found in Asclepias glaucophylla, a closely related species, while the pregnane derivatives of the latter are distinctly higher hydroxylated.
