From the seeds of Asclepias curassavica, two cardenolides and twelve glycosides were obtained. Among these, four compounds were determined to be 16α-hydroxycalotropagenin, 16α-hydroxycalotropin and its 3'-O-glucoside and 3'-O-gentiobioside. Normally linked triosides of corotoxigenin, coroglaucigenin and 12β-hydroxycoroglaucigenin were characterized as cellobiosyl-allomethylosides.
Asclepias curassavica, seed cardenolide, 12β-hydroxy-coroglaucigenin, 4'-O-cellobiosyl-12β-hydroxyfrugoside, 4'-O-cellobiosyl-gofruside, doubly linked cardenolide glycoside, 16α-hydroxy-calotropagenin, 3'-O-gentiobiosyl-16α-hydroxy-calotropin
