Abstract
Two new and one known furostanol saponins were isolated from the rhizomes of Yucca gloriosa. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis (1D-, 2D NMR, ESI-MS, HR-MALDI-MS). The glycosidic profile of Y. gloriosa in comparison to that of Yucca schidigera, the well known commercial source of saponins, is briefly discussed. The similarity between the two species regarding the high steroidal content suggests that it might be possible to use Y. gloriosa for the same applications as Y. schidigera.
