A novel cholestane diglycoside, named candicanoside A (1), was isolated from the bulbs of Galtonia candicans by monitoring the cytotoxic activity on HL-60 leukemia cells. Candicanoside A (1) is very unique in structure, having two epoxy functionalities in its rearranged cholestane skeleton, and showed differential cytotoxicity in the Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research 38 cell-line assay.

Candicanoside A (1) and its4″-O-(p-methoxybenzoate) derivative 2 are congeners of the novel 24(2322)abeo-cholestane glycosides that occur in the genus Ornithogalum indigenous to Southern Africa and have remarkable cytostatic activities. These two saponins have been synthesized starting from dehydroisoandrosterone, D-glucose, and L-rhamnose in 37 and 44 steps, respectively. The reaction protocols feature
