Triterpene saponins of Caltha polypetala. Glycosides G and I

From the epigeal organs of the great march marigold (family Ranunculaceae) two triterpene glycosides, a tetra- and a pentaoside of hederagenin, have been isolated. Their chemical structures have been established by chemical methods of investigation and by¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Glycoside G is hederagenin 3-O--L-arabinoside 28-O-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 6)--D-glucopyranoside]. Glycoside I is hederagenin 3-O-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 2)--L-arabinoside 28-O-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 6)--D-glucopyranoside].I. G.
