Bufadienolides from Drimia robusta BAK [PDF]
Scientia Pharmaceutica, 2000 From bulbs of Drimia robusta 7 bufadienolides were isolated, 3 of them new natural compounds. Structure elucidation was performed by comparison with authentic substances or by means of 1H-, 13C-NMR-spectroscopy and FAB-MS. The substances were identified as scilliroside (1), 12ß-hydroxyscillirosidin (2), 12ß-hydroxyscilliroside (3), hellebrigenin-3-0-ß ...
