  • Title: New Sweet-Tasting C21 Pregnane Glycosides from the Roots of Myriopteron extensum.
    Author: Sun G, Zhang HX, Ma YP, Li MX, Du ZZ.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2018 Jul 25; 66(29):7735-7739. PubMed ID: 29965760.
    Abstract:
    To investigate the sweet-tasting components in the roots of Myriopteron extensum, the phytochemical study of its roots was conducted, which led to the discovery of 12 new C21 pregnane glycosides (extensumside M-X, 1-12) and two known ones (extensumside C and extensumside E, 13-14). Their chemical structure elucidation was accomplished by means of spectroscopic methods: IR, UV, ESI-MS, and NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC, HSQC-TOCSY, and ROESY), as well as the chemical evidence. Sensory analysis of these compounds revealed that nine of them (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, and 14) are highly sweet-tasting compounds. Their sweetness intensities are 25 to 400 times greater than that of sucrose. Analysis of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) indicated that the sweet intensities of the isolated compounds are closely related to the aglycone 3β,16α-dihydroxy-pregn-5-en-20-one, the number and type of the monosaccharide in the sugar chain linked to C-3 and C-16 and the position of the mBe group.
