E-mail: elsebai72@yahoo.com Abstract Retrospinoside (1) is a new polyoxypregnane glycoside which was isolated and characterised from the aerial parts of Caralluma retrospiciens (Ehrenb.) N. E. Br., family Apocynaceae. The structure was established as 3-O-[β-Dglucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-(3-O-methyl-6-desoxygalactopyranosy)]-14,15,20trihydroxy- 4β-pregnane. Its structural elucidation was performed through extensive spectroscopic measurements including 1D- and 2D-NMR, and HRMS, in addition to chemical methods.
