Khekadaengoside

Khekadaengoside is any one of several chemical compounds isolated from certain plants, notably Trichosanthes tricuspidata. They can be seen as derivatives of the triterpene hydrocarbon cucurbitane (C
30H
54), more specifically from cucurbitacins H and L.[1]

They include:

  • Khekadaengoside A from T. tricuspidata [1]:67
  • Khekadaengoside B from T. tricuspidata [1]:68
  • Khekadaengoside D from the fruits of T. tricuspidata [1]:57
  • Khekadaengoside K from the fruits of T. tricuspidata [1]:58
