Asparagamine A, a  polycyclic    was isolated from the dried roots and subsequently synthesized to allow for the construction of analogs. Two new  steroidal  saponins,  shatavaroside A  and  shatavaroside B  together with a known saponin,  filiasparoside C, were isolated from the roots of  Asparagus racemosus. Five steroidal saponins, shatavarins VI-X, together with five known saponins, shatavarin I (or asparoside B), shatavarin IV (or asparinin B), shatavarin V, immunoside and schidigerasaponin D5 (or asparanin A), have been isolated from the roots of  Asparagus racemosus.
