(A) Selected base peak chromatogram of the crude sapogenin extract (blue) and glucosylated products (red).
(B) Structure of hederagenin 28-O-β-d-glucopyranoside.
(C) to (H) Negative-ion HPLC-ESI-MS/MS of sapogenins and their glucosides produced by the action of UGT73F3 on a crude sapogenin extract from M. truncatula: bayogenin glucoside (C), unidentified A glucoside (D), unidentified B glucoside (E), hederagenin glucoside (F), medicagenic acid aglycone (G), and medicagenic acid glucoside (H). Explanation of masses for molecules indicated in square brackets: M, molecule; Glc, β-d-glucopyranosyl; Hac, acetic acid; Na, sodium; and H, hydrogen.
