During further bioactivity-guided fractionation, a new pregnane glycoside, hypoglaucin G (1), and a known compound, pregna-5,16-dien-3β-ol-20-one 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]β-D-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from the EtOH extract of Dioscorea collettii vat. hypoglauca rhizomes, which induced morphological deformation of Pyricularia oryzae mycelia with minimum morphological deformation concentration values of 135 μM and 236 μM, respectively. The structure of 1 was established as 16β-(4'-methyl-5'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-pentanoxyl)-pregn-5-en-3β-ol-20-one 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-giucopyranoside on the basis of chemical evidence and spectral analysis, especially by 2D NMR techniques.
