“…The structures of the two known cardiac glycosides 4 and 5 isolated from the stem bark of S. asper in the present study were determined by comparison of their spectroscopic data (Tables 1 and 2 and Table S1, Supporting Information) with literature data for (+)-3- O-β - d -fucopyranosylperiplogenin ( 4 ) 18 and (+)-strebloside ( 5 ), 5 respectively. The (3 S , 5 S , 8 R , 9 S , 10 R , 13 R , 14 S , 17 R , 1' R , 2' R , 3' S , 4' R , 5' R ) and (3 S , 5 S , 8 R , 9 S , 10 S , 13 R , 14 S , 17 R , 1' R , 2' R , 3' S , 4' S , 5' R ) absolute configurations were evident for 4 and 5 , respectively, from their ECD and 2D NOESY NMR spectra, which were consistent with those of 1 (Figures 1 and 3 and Figures S15 and S16, Supporting Information).…”
