TL;DR: The nature of the sterols and triterpenes of Tanacetum vulgare L. (Compositae), a widely used herbal remedy usually referred to as tansy, are determined by using thin layer and gas chromatographics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Abstract: Plant sterols and triterpenes exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities. As part of our ongoing studies of the medicinal aspects of Maritime flora, particularly the herbal remedies of the Micmac and Malecite Indians, we determined the nature of the sterols and triterpenes ofTanacetum vulgare L. (Compositae)—a widely used herbal remedy usually referred to as tansy. By using thin layer and gas chromatographics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we were able to identify β-sitosterol as the major sterol and α-amyrin as the major triterpene of tansy. We also identified the sterols stigmasterol, campesterol and cholesterol, and the triterpenes β-amyrin and taraxasterol. A fourth triterpene was tentatively identified as pseudo-taraxasterol. The successful therapeutic application of this herb may be due partly to the presence of one or more of these compounds. The sterols and triterpenes of tansy have not been previously reported; neither, to our knowledge, have the NMR spectra of the amyrins and the NMR and mass spectra of taraxasterol.

TL;DR: In this paper, the percentage of saponins in garlic, onion and leek was determined, applying the densitometric method on thin layer chromatograms, previously proposed5.
Abstract: From plant material (Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Allium porrum), extracts characterised by a high haemolytic activity were obtained. In the raw saponin preparation the percentage of saponins in garlic, onion and leek was determined, applying the densitometric method on thin layer chromatograms, previously proposed5. Purified crystalline or oil-like saponin preparations were hydrolysed or complexed with cholesterol. The isolated sapogenins were identified by mass spectrometry, IR, NMR and UV analysis. The following sapogenins were found: sitosterol, gitogenin, oleanolic acid and amyrin.

TL;DR: The use of combined GC/MS proved extremely valuable in the simultaneous analysis of a mixture of triterpene acetates and greatly reduced the time needed to phytochemically evaluate these compounds.
Abstract: Sonchus arvensis L. or sow thistle has proved an excellent source of pentacylic triterpenes; triterpenes account for about 6% of the crude lipid extract or 0.2% of the dried plant. Composition of the triterpenoid fraction, as indicated by gas chromatography of the corresponding acetates, was α-amyrin (9%), β-amyrin (21%), lupeol (13%), taraxasterol (24%) and pseudo-taraxasterol (12%). A single, long-chain alcohol (16%) was also present. The nature of the triterpenoids was defined using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and confirmed by direct comparison with authentic samples. The use of combined GC/MS proved extremely valuable in the simultaneous analysis of a mixture of triterpene acetates and greatly reduced the time needed to phytochemically evaluate these compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, Saponin E and H were separated by droplet countercurrent chromatography and the complete molecular configurations of both glycosides were determined to be 3-O-(2-O-α-L-R-rhamnopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoyl)hovenolactone and 3.
Abstract: Saponin E, isolated from the leaves of Hoevenia dulcis, afforded a new dammarane triterpene aglycone, hovenolactone, on treatment with naringinase. The structure of hovenolactone, including the relative configurations at C-17, C-20, and C-23, was established by chemical and spectroscopic investigations as well as by X-ray analysis. Saponins E and H were separated by droplet counter-current chromatography. The complete molecular configurations of both glycosides were determined to be 3-O-(2-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)hovenolactone and 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosylhovenolactone, respectively, by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the fresh leaves of Fatsia japoniea (Thunb.) Decne et Planch., family Araliaceae (Japan fatsia) cultivated in the Georgian SSR Black Sea littora contain weakly polar, and the air-dry leaves more strongly polar, glycosides.
Abstract: We have previously reported that the fresh leaves of Fatsia japoniea (Thunb.) Decne et Planch., family Araliaceae (Japan fatsia) cultivated in the Georgian SSR Black Sea littora contain weakly polar, and the air-dry leaves more strongly polar, glycosides. In the fresh leaves by TLC in systems with various pH values at least four weakly polar compounds were detected [i] -fatsiasides AI, BI, CI, and D 1 -and we give information on the study of their structures below.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of 14C incorporation of D-glucose-U-14C, acetate-1 14C and mevalonate-2 14C into esterified triterpenes and cardenolides in excised stem parts were studied.
Abstract: SUMMARY The latex of Asclepias curassavica L. was shown to contain 40–60 mg.ml–1 cardenolides and 0.4–0.6 mg.ml–1 esterified triterpenes. The dynamics of 14C incorporation of D-glucose-U-14C, acetate-1-14C and mevalonate-2-14C into esterified triterpenes and cardenolides in excised stem parts have been studied. The results obtained indicate that glucose is a very effective precursor in latex triterpene synthesis. The three precursors used were only slightly involved in cardenolide synthesis. The results are discussed in relation to the view that both latex constituents probably have different sites of synthesis.
