Cholelithiasis in neonates and infants has been rarely reported. With the current widespread use of diagnostic ultrasonography, more neonates may be found with gallstones and common bile duct stones. We describe a case of asymptomatic gallstones detected incidentally at the age of four days who presented with early onset of neonatal sepsis and dehydration.
A new triterpenoid saponin, coumoside A, has been isolated from the whole plant of Cyclamen coum and the structure of this novel saponin (C58H92O27) has been deduced by NMR methods based on 1H, 13C, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HETCOR, NOESY-NMR experiments and the FAB-mass spectrum. It has the structure 3 beta-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl- (1-2)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)]-alpha-L -arabinopyranosyl]-16 alpha-hydroxy-30,28 beta-lactone-olean-12-ene and is called coumoside.
A new triterpenoid saponin, coumoside B, has been isolated from the whole plant of Cyclamen coum. The structure of the compound 3 (C58H92O27) has been deduced by NMR (400 MHz) methods based on the 1H, 13C, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HETCOR, NOESY-NMR experiments, and FAB-mass spectrum. Compound 3 was shown to have the structure 16 alpha-hydroxy-3 beta-[[[[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-[beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)]- [beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]- alpha-arabinopyranosyl]-oxy]olean-12-eno-30,28-lactone and is named coumoside B.
