A total of 10 steroidal glycosides, together with three new spirostanol glycosides (6–8), a new furostanol glycoside (9), and a new cholestane glycoside (10), were isolated from the rhizomes of Clintonia udensis (Liliaceae). The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 2-D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, and of hydrolytic cleavage followed by chromatographic or spectroscopic analyses. The isolated glycosides were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against HL-60 leukemia cells. Spirostanol glycosides 1 and 2, and furostanol glycoside 4 showed cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 3.2±0.02, 2.2±0.12, and 2.2±0.06 μg/ml, respectively. Neither the spirostanol and furostanol saponins with a hydroxy group at C-1 (6 and 9) and C-12 (7 and 8) nor cholestane glycosides (5 and 10) exhibited apparent cytotoxic activity at a sample concentration of 10 μg/ml.
                                    从百合科植物黄精(Clintonia udensis)的根茎中分离得到了10种甾体糖苷,其中包括3种新的螺甾烷
醇类糖苷(6-8)、1种新的呋甾烷
醇类糖苷(9)和1种新的胆甾烷
醇类糖苷(10)。通过广泛的波谱分析(包括二维核磁共振数据)以及

醇类糖苷1和2以及呋甾烷
醇类糖苷4显示了细胞毒活性,它们的IC50值分别为3.2±0.02、2.2±0.12和2.2±0.06 μg/ml。C-1(6和9)和C-12位(7和8)有羟基取代的螺甾烷
醇类和呋甾烷
醇类皂苷以及胆甾烷
醇类糖苷(5和10)在样品浓度为10 μg/ml时均未显示出明显的细胞毒活性。
