hosta longipes/neoplasms

Phytochemical study on the underground parts of Hosta longipes gave six new steroidal saponins together with a known one. The structures of the new compounds were determined by detailed analysis of their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra including two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, acid-catalyzed hydrolysis

Three new spirostanol saponins and two new furostanol saponins were isolated from the underground parts of Hosta longipes. Their structures were determined to be (25R)-5 alpha-spirostane-2 alpha, 3 beta-diol (gitogenin) 3-O-{O-alpha-L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranoside}, gitogenin

A phytochemical study on the underground parts of Hosta ventricosa yielded one new spirostanol saponin (1), two new furostanol saponins (2 and 3), and one new pregnane glycoside (4), along with three known compounds (5‒7). Their structures were elucidated on

Hostasinine A (1), a benzylphenethylamine alkaloid with an unprecedented skeleton featuring a C-4-C-6 linkage and a nitrone moiety, was isolated from Hosta plantaginea. Its structure was established on the basis of spectroscopic data, and was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The genus Hosta (Liliaceae family) represents an interesting source of natural bio-constituents, and the 50 species of this genus are widespread in the world. Five species have been used as traditional East
