The Polynesian medicinal fern  Microsorum membranifolium  contains very large amounts of ecdysteroids, including ecdysone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone, and 2- deoxyecdysone. It also contains large amounts of unusual ecdysteroids which have been unambiguously identified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. A new class of ecdysteroid conjugates (3-glucosyl-ferulates of 2-deoxyecdysone and 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone) is isolated, together with a new glycoside (2-deoxyecdysone 25-rhamnoside). The simultaneous presence of a sugar and an aromatic moiety results in a very particular chromatographic behavior of these conjugates. They behave like flavonoids and polyphenols when using the classical purification on polyamide, aimed at removing the latter from crude plant extracts, and would therefore be lost. They elute as non-polar ecdysteroids on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), whereas their behavior on normalphase (NP) HPLC is strongly dependent on the mobile phase composition. Our data highlight the importance of selectivity in the choice of HPLC methods used for ecdysteroid separations.
