Abstract
New triterpenoid saponins, maejaposides A, B, C, D, and E, were isolated from the roots of Maesa japonica and were, respectively, defined to be 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-bet a-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3)] [beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)]beta-D-glucuronopyranosides of 22alpha-[(Z)-2-hexenoyloxy]-13beta,28-oxido-olean++ +-16alpha, 28alpha-diol (1); 22alpha-[2'-methylbutanoyl]-13beta, 28-oxido-olean-16alpha,28alpha-diol (2a) and 22alpha-angeloyloxy-13beta,28-oxido-olean-16a lpha,28alpha-diol (2b); 21beta,22alpha-diangeloyloxy-13beta,28-oxido- olean-16alpha, 28alpha-diol (3); 21beta-angeloyloxy, 22alpha-(2'-methylbutanoyl)-13beta,28-oxido-olean++ +-16alpha, 28alpha-diol (4), and 21beta-angeloyloxy, 22alpha-[(Z)-2'-hexenoyl]-13beta,28-oxido-olean- 16alpha,28alpha-diol (5). Their structures were established on the basis of extensive NMR (DEPT, COSY, HOHAHA, HETCOR, HMBC, and NOESY) and ESIMS/MS studies, along with chemical degradation.
