Gracillin is a glycoside , more precisely a spirostanol saponin , which can be found in many plants of the genera Dioscorea , Paris and Costacea , for example in Tamus communis .
The steroid diosgenin , to which three sugar residues are attached, acts as an aglycon : the first residue is a β- D -glucopyranose, on whose 2′-OH an α- L- rhamnopyranose is substituted and at the 3′-OH another β- D - Glucopyranose.
