Triterpene glycosides from the deep-water North-Pacific sea cucumber Synallactes nozawai Mitsukuri

J Nat Prod. 2002 Dec;65(12):1802-8. doi: 10.1021/np0202881.

Abstract

Five non-sulfated triterpene glycosides, synallactosides A(1) (1), A(2) (2), B(1) (3), B(2) (4), and C (5), have been isolated from the sea cucumber Synallactes nozawai. Their structures have been deduced by extensive analysis of NMR and mass spectra. The glycosides 2-5 are new glycosides. Glycosides 2-4 have carbohydrate chains without precedent in the glycosides from sea cucumbers. This is the first time glycosides are found in members of the family Synallactidae.
