Chemical Constituents ofTyphonium GiganteumEngl

A new cerebroside, named typhonoside (1), was isolated from the root tuber of Typhonium giganteum Engl. along with three known compounds dipalmitin (2), alpha-monopalmitin (3) and 2,6-diamino-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpurine (4). The structure of 1 was determined to be 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-[(2'-hydroxyl-docosanoyl)amino]-8-otadecene-1,3,4-triol on the basis of spectral data.
