Die Glykoside der Wurzeln von Xysmalobium dilatatum WEIMARCK. 1. Mitteilung: Isolierungen. Glykoside und Aglykone, 327. Mitteilung

The roots of Xysmalobium dilatatum Weimarck contain uzarin and xysmalorin as major glycosides. The same two compounds are also present as main components in the glycoside mixture from the roots of Xysmalobium undulatum. In addition to that, X. dilatatum also contains appreciable amounts of pregnane derivatives, linked to 2-deoxy-sugars. Four such xanthydrolpositive compounds (the dilatoides A, B, C and D) have been isolated in amorphous but pure or nearly pure form; they have not been detected in the roots of X. undulatum.
