| Abstract: | Three new oleanene glycosides, sophoraflavosides II-IV (2-4) were isolated together with sophoraflavoside I (1) as the corresponding methyl ester forms from Sophorae Radix, the fresh roots of Sophora flavescens AITON (Leguminosae). Their structures have been elucidated as oxytrogenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta -D- glucuronopyranoside (2), 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta -D-glucuronopyranosyl oxytrogenin 22-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (3) and 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta -D-glucuronopyranosyl oxytrogenin 22-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (4), along with unambiguous characterization as 3 beta,22 beta,24-trihydroxyolean-12-en-29-oic acid for their sapogenol, named oxytrogenin (5) on the bases of chemical reactions and spectral analyses. |
