Abstract

A new pregnane glycoside hindicusine (1) was isolated from the CHCl(3)-EtOH (3 : 2) extract of Hemidesmus indicus, whose structure was established on the basis of spectroscopic studies. The glycoside (1) and its acetylated derivative (5) were evaluated for their anti-oxidant and anti-dyslipidemic activities.
