Abstract: | Three new escin‐like triterpene saponins, assamicins VI ( 1 ), VII ( 2 ), and VIII ( 3 ), were isolated from the seeds of A. assamica, together with a known saponin, isoescin Ib ( 4 ). Their structures were established as 28‐O‐acetyl‐21‐O‐(3,4‐di‐O‐angeloyl‐6‐deoxy‐β‐glucopyranosyl)‐3‐O‐{O‐β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐O‐[β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)]‐β‐glucopyranuronosyl}protoaescigenin ( 1 ), 21‐O‐angeloyl‐3‐O‐{O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐O‐[β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)]‐β‐glucopyranuronosyl}protoaescigenin ( 2 ), and 21‐O‐angeloyl‐3‐O‐{O‐[β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)]‐β‐glucopyranuronosyl}protoaescigenin ( 3 ) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis (protoaescigenin=(3β,4β,16α,21β,22α)‐olean‐12‐ene‐3,16,21,22,23,28‐hexol; angelic acid=(2Z)‐2‐methylbut‐2‐enoic acid). |
