Arjunolic acid derivative glycoside from the stems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hedera colchica</Emphasis>

Five triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the stems of Hedera colchica K. Koch, Araliaceae. Two of them are new natural substances. HCSt-A (1): 3-O--D-arabinopyranoside; 28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-arjunolic acid. HCSt-B (2): 3-O--D-xylopyranoside; 28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-hederagenin. The derivative of arjunolic acid is described for the first time in Araliaceae family. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were established on the base of chemical and 1D and 2D NMR experiments.Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 461–463, November–December, 2004.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Two new triterpene glycosides from the holothurian Duasmodactyla kurilensis

Two new glycosides have been isolated from the total triterpene glycosides of the holothurianDuasmodactyla kurilensis: kurilosides A (III) and C (IV). It has been established that (III) is 16-acetoxy-3-{[O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1 2)]-[O-(3-O-methyl--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 3)-O-(6-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 4)]--D-xylopyranosyloxy}-4,4,14-trimethylpregen-9(11)-en-20-one, while the minor glycoside (IV) is 16-acetoxy-3-{O--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1 2)-[O-(3-O-methyl--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 3)-O-(6-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 4)]--D-xylopyranosyloxy}-4,4,14-trimethylpregn-9(11)-en-20-one.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

New triterpene glycoside from the holothurianNeothyonidium magnum

The main component of the triterpene glycosides from the holothurianNeothyonidium magnum — neothyonidioside C — has been isolated and its structure has been determined by physical and chemical methods as 16-acetoxy-3-[O-(3-O-methyl-6-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 3)-O--D-xylopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1 2)-(4-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-xylopyranosyloxy)]holosta-7,25-diene.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Triterpene Glycosides of Fatsia japonica. VI. Structures of Glycosides D3a and D3b

Seeds of Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae) yielded the new glycosides of gypsogenin: 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranoside and 3-O--D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranoside. The structures of these compounds were established by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.     

Triterpene glycosides ofSophora japonica seeds

We have isolated from the seeds of Sophora japonica the known soyasaponogenol B-3-[O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranuronoside] (adzukisaponin II), soyasapogenol B [3-O--galactopyranosyl-(12)-O--L-glucopyranuronoside] (soyasaponin III), soyasapogenol B 3-(O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O--L-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranuronoside] (adzukisaponin V), soyasapogenol B 3-(O--D-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranuronoside] (soyasaponin I), and the new glycoside (1) — soyasapogenol B 3-[O--D-glucopyranuronoside].
