Synthesis and biological activity of yuccagenin bisrhamnoside

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The two hydroxyls of yuccagenin can be glycosylated by Koenigs-Knorr condensation with acetobromorhammose in dichloroethane in the presence of mercuric cyanide. The bisrhamnoside of yuccagenin markedly lowers the cholesterol and triglyceride content in blood serum of healthy animals and animals with experimental hyperlipidemia.
