27-Nor-triterpenoid saponins from Adina rubella

Three new 27-nor-triterpenoid saponias named rubenorside A (1),rubenorside B(2) and rubenorside C (3) were isolated from the roots of Adina rubella.Their structures were characienzed as pyrocincholic acid 3β-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(28→1 )-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1),pyrocinchohe acid 3β-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranosyl(28→1)-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→6)-β-D-glico-pyranosyl ester (2) and pyrocincholic acid 3β-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl(28→1)β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester () by spectral methods,especially 2D NMR experiments.
