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.
