Koreoside A, a new nonholostane triterpene glycoside from the sea cucumber Cucumaria koraiensis

J Nat Prod. 1997 Aug;60(8):808-10. doi: 10.1021/np970152g.

Abstract

The new triterpene glycoside koreoside A (1) has been isolated from the sea cucumber Cucumaria koraiensis. Koreoside A (1) is the first glycoside reported from holothurians that presents a delta(7) nonholostane aglycon without a lactone group and with a shortened side chain. Its structure has been elucidated by 13C and 1H NMR as well as FABMS studies.
