A new lignan glycoside, 1,5-dihydroxy-2-(4"-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3"-methoxyphenyl)-6-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, named ambrosidine ([structure: see text]), along with seven known compounds (four iridoids and three hydroxycinnamic esters) were isolated from the
Three new oleanane-type saponins, giganteosides L (1), M (2) and N (3) along with eight known ones were isolated from the roots of Cephalaria gigantea. Their structures were established as
The roots of Cephalaria ambrosioides yielded a new triterpene, 6alpha-hydroxyhederagenic acid ( 1), in addition to the known triterpene hederagenic acid ( 2) and four corresponding saponins, leontoside A (or akeboside Stb) ( 3), kalopanax saponin A (or alpha-hederin) ( 4), saponin PG (or sapindoside
BACKGROUND
Saponins isolated from a number of plants possess a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities by using in vitro and in vivo bioassays. The recent investigations and findings in biological activity studies of saponins have mostly focused on immunomodulatory, hemolytic and
