Digin

(1R,2S,4S,5R,6R,7S,8R,9S,12S,13S,15R,16R,18S)-5,7,9,13-tetramethylspiro[5-oxapentacyclo[10.8.0.02,9.04,8.013,18]icosane-6,2-oxane]-15,16-diol

C27H44O4 (432.3239424)


Gitogenin is a triterpenoid. Gitogenin is a natural product found in Yucca gloriosa, Allium rotundum, and other organisms with data available. Gitogenin is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Gitogenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Gitogenin can be found in fenugreek, which makes gitogenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Gitogenin is a natural steroid isolated from the whole plant of Tribulus longipetalus. Gitogenin is a selective inhibitor of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4) and enzyme α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 0.69 μM (use trifluoperazine as a substrate) and 37.2 μM, respectively, and does not inhibit the activities of major human cytochrome P450 isoforms[1][2].

Episarsasapogenin

(25R)-5alpha-Spirostan-3beta-ol

C27H44O3 (416.3290274)


Episarsasapogenin, also known as smilagenin or sarsasapogenin, (3beta,5beta,25s)-isomer, is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Episarsasapogenin is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Episarsasapogenin can be found in fenugreek, which makes episarsasapogenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
