Twenty-four saponins have been identified in alfalfa roots, including 13 medicagenic acids, 2 zanhic acids, 4 hederagenins, 1 soyasapogenol A, 2 soyasapogenol B's, 1 soyasapogenol E, and 1 bayogenin glycoside. Ten of the identified compounds, including 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-28-O-beta-D- glucopyranoside medicagenate, 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta -D-glucopyranoside] medicagenic acid, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D -glucopyranosyl]-28-beta- D-glucopyranoside medicagenate, 3-O-[beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl methyl ester]-28-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1--> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside] medicagenate, 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->2)-be ta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-21-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside soyasapogenol A, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)glucopy ranosyl]-28-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1- ->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside] medicagenate, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)glucopy ranosyl]-28-O-¿beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-)-[beta-D-apiofurano syl-(1 -->3)]- alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside¿ medicagenate, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D -glucopyranosyl]-28-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyra nosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside] zanhic acid, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D -glucopyranosyl]-28-O-¿beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-[beta-D-apiofurano side-(1-->3)]- alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside¿zanhic acid, and 3-O-[beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-28- O-b eta-D-glucopyranoside bayogenin, were not reported before, and their structures were established by spectral (FAB-MS and NMR) techniques. In addition, 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->2)-be ta-D-glucuronopyranoside] soyasapogenol E was identified in the roots for the first time.
