Abstract:

Two new furostanol glycosides, aspacochinosides L (1) and M (2), were isolated from the roots of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. Their structures were determined by chemical methods and NMR spectral analysis, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Compounds 1 and 2 were investigated for their anti-neuroinflammatory activity in LPS-induced BV-2 cells. Compound 2 showed moderate inhibitory effect on NO production in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells with IC50 value of 32.26 μM.

Key words: Asparagus cochinchinensis, Steroidal saponin, Furostanol glycoside, Aspacochinoside
