Sapogenins of Yucca glauca seeds

From the seeds of Yucca glauca Nutt., sarsasapogenin. markogenin. tigogenin. neo-tigogenin. neo-gitogenin, hecogenin and gloriogenin have been isolated and identified. Sarsasapogenin was the predominant sapogenin. Markogenin and gloriogenin have not been reported in leaves, roots or rhizomes of this species before. Small amounts of a sapogenin believed to be either diosgenin or yamogenin were also detected.
