| Abstract: | Four novel triterpenoid saponins, Vaccariside B‐E (1–4), were isolated from the seeds of Vaccaria segetalis and their structures were elucidated as 3‐O‐β‐D‐galactopyranosyl‐(1–2)‐β‐D‐glucuronopyranosyl quillaic add 28‐O‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1–3)‐α‐L rhamno‐pyranosyl‐(1–2)‐α‐L‐arabinofura‐nosyl‐(1–3)]‐4‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D)‐fucopyranoside (1), 3‐O‐β‐D‐galactopyranosyl ‐ (1–2) ?3‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D ‐ glucuronopyranosyl quillaic acid 28‐O‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1–3)‐α‐L‐rhamnopyra‐nosyl‐(1–2)‐α‐L‐arabinofuranosyl‐(1–3)]‐4‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐fucopyranoside (2), 3‐O‐β‐D‐galactopyranosyl‐(1–2)‐β‐D‐glucuronopyranosyl quillaic add 28‐O‐α‐L‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1–3)‐α‐L‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1–2)‐α‐L‐arabinofuranosyl‐(1–3)]‐4‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐fucopyranoside (3), 3‐O‐β‐D‐galacto‐pyranosyl‐(1–2)‐β‐D‐xytopyranosyl‐(1–3)]‐β‐D‐glucurono‐pyranosyl quillaic add 28‐O‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1–3)‐α‐L‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1–2)‐α‐L‐arabinofuranosyl‐(1–3)]‐4‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐fucopyranoside (4), respectively. |
