On the basis of comparative 'H-and 13C-n.m.r. data, the structures of the minor saponins fz>orn the starfish Eehinuster sepositus have been elucidated to be 2 -4. They closely resemble 1, the major saponin from the same starfish, and, in addition to the cycZic trisaccharide moiety bridging C-3 and C
The occurrence of toxic saponins in starfish has been known since some years ago'. They are cytotoxic, hemolytic, antiviral2 and also induce escape reaction in molluscs3. A number of steroidal aglycones produced by acid hydrolysis of star fish saponins (asterosaponins) have been characterized; all o
