Triterpene glycosides ofHedera helix I. The structures of glycosides L-1, L-2a, L-2b, L-3, L-4a, L-4b, L-6a, L-6b, L-6c, L-7a, and L7-b from the leaves of common ivy

The leaves of common ivy have yielded 11 triterpene glycosides: the 3-O--L-pyranosides of oleanolic acid (1), of echinocystic acid (2), and of hederagenin; the 3-O-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranoside]s of oleanolic acid (4), of echinocystic acid (5), and of hederagenin (6); the O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl ester of hederagenin 3-O--L-pyranoside (7); the O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl ester of hederagenin 3-O-O--L-pyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranoside] (9); and the O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl esters of oleanolic acid, echinocystic acid, and hederagenin 3-O-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--D-glucopyranoside]s (8), (10), and (11), respectively. This is the first time that compounds (1), (2), (5), (7), (9), and (10) have been found in this plant.Simferopol' State University.
