The saponin contents have only previously been reported for A. macroacantha, and as a consequence, simultaneous dereplication has been performed on saponin-rich fractions from the other plants by mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This strategy enables the identification of a total of 26 saponins, 14 of which have been described previously and 12 of which are proposed as new saponins. They include isomers and a new sugar chain with a β-d-apiofuranose unit. The method is corroborated by the isolation of eight dereplicated saponins from A. colorata.}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, keywords = {Agave macroacantha}, keywords = {A. colorata}, keywords = {A. parryi}, keywords = {A. parrasana}, keywords = {dereplication}, keywords = {steroidal saponin}, keywords = {coloratoside}, keywords = {HMAI}, keywords = {bioherbicide}, keywords = {apiose}, title = {Dereplication of Bioactive Agave Saponin Fractions: The Hidden Saponins}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jafc.4c02308}, author = {Simonet Morales, Ana María and García Durán, Alexandra and Macías Domínguez, Francisco Antonio}, }
