New solanocapsine-type tomato glycoside from ripe fruit of Solanum lycopersicum

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2011;59(11):1403-5. doi: 10.1248/cpb.59.1403.

Abstract

A new solanocapsine-type tomato glycoside, a novel and interesting natural steroidal glycoside, was isolated from a mini tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. The chemical structure of the new minor glycoside, esculeoside B-5 (3), was determined to be (5S,22R,23S,24R,25S)-22,26-epimino-16β,23-epoxy-3β,23,24-trihydroxycholestane 3-O-β-lycotetraoside.
