A spirostanol glycoside was isolated, together with some known compounds, from the methanolic extract of the fruits of Asparagus officinalis and characterized by chemical and spectral methods including 13C NMR-DEPT and 2D-hetcor NMR spectra.The spirostanol glycoside caused 100percent immobilization of human spermatozoa at 1.5percent level.Key Word Index - Asparagus officinalis; Liliaceae; spirostanol glycoside; 13C NMR-DEPT mode; 2D-heteronuclear shift correlation NMR spectrum; spermicidal potential.
