Roots of Cynanchum caudataum afforded 15 pregnane glycosides which had cynanchogenin, caudatin and gagaminin as the aglycone moiety and 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methylhexopyranoses and glucopyranose as component sugars. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and from chemical evidence.
