Abstract

The genus Dracaena consists of 110 species distributed mainly in Africa and Asia. The species Dracaena trifasciata “Laurentii” (synonym: Sansevieria trifasciata “Laurentii”) is a species of the genus Dracaena. This species is used widely in ethnopharmacology to treat a number of diseases, such as cough, weakness, asthma, hypertension, diarrhea, and viral hepatitis. Saponin is a chemical compound found mostly in plants and has many valuable biological activities such as antioxidant, antifungal and cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines. However, many plant species have not been studied for the isolation of saponin compounds, leading to an incomplete database of saponin compounds in plants, making it difficult to synthesize saponin compounds with biological activity for disease treatment. Therefore, the search for new biological saponins is becoming an important topic. In this study, one previously reported steroidal saponin was isolated from the leaves of D. trifasciata “Laurentii” and further identified chemically as spirost-5,(25)27-diene-1β,3β,23-triol 1-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-arabinopyranoside (1).
