Natural saponin icogenin, namely 25(S)-22-O-methyl-furost-5-en-3 beta,26-dio-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and one of its analogues, 25(S)-22-O-methyl-furost-5-en-3 beta,26-dio-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)]-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, were first synthesized via line strategy and convergent approach, respectively. It was observed that icogenin and its analogue show potent antitumor activity in vitro. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
