The structure of cauloside D, one of the main saponins isolated from Caulophyllum robustum roots, was shown to be 3-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin-28-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-glucopyranosyl(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside with the aid of methylation and enzymatic hydrolysis by the digestive juice of the Eulota maackii. Cauloside A was shown to be identical with saponin A, isolated from C. robustum Maxim. previously. The composition of the digestive juice of E. maakii was shown to include enzymes that catalyse the cleavage of α-arabinosidic, β-1,6-glucosidic and acyl-O-β-glucosidic linkages. |
