This Article contains errors.


In Figure 2A, the NMR spectrum of uttroside A is provided instead of uttroside B. The correct Figure 2A appears below as Figure 1.


Consequently, in the Results section,


“The key information pertaining to steroidal furanose ring include H-21 methyl group at δH 0.99 ppm (3H, d, J = 7 Hz), and hemiketal carbon C-22 at δC 112.5 ppm. Owing to complex pattern of signals arising due to sugars in the region between 3 to 4 ppm, the isolated saponin was peracetylated (Fig. 2A).”


should read:


“The key information pertaining to steroidal furanose ring include H-21 methyl group at δH 1.00 ppm (3H, d, J = 7 Hz), and hemiketal carbon C-22 at δC 110.5 ppm. Owing to complex pattern of signals arising due to sugars in the region between 3 to 4 ppm (Fig. 2A), the isolated saponin was peracetylated.”


“MS-MS analysis in negative mode afforded ions at m/z 1081.5 (M-xyl-H), 919.5 (M-hex-H), 757.4 (M-hex-hex-H), and in positive mode afforded ions at m/z 1235.5 (M-H2O + K), 1197.5 (M- H2O), 1073.4 (M- H2O-hexose + K), 741.4 (M- H2O-hex-hex-xyl+H), 579.3 (M- H2O-hex-hex-xyl-hex+H), 417.3 (M- H2O-hex-hex-xyl-hex-hex+H), 163.06 (M-hex-hex-xyl-hex-hex-furostanol + H), which further confirmed that the isolated saponin is uttroside B with a molecular weight of 1215.34 Da (Supplementary Figures S2, S3 and S4).”
