Investigation of whole seeds of Lupinus angustifolius L. (Leguminosae) yielded the two triterpenoid saponins with branched monosaccharide chain 3 beta,21 beta,22 beta,24-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (3) and 3 beta,21 beta,22 beta,24-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-21-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (4) along with the known compounds soyasaponin I (1) and 3 beta,21 beta,22 beta,24-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-21-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (2). The structures of the compounds were elucidated using hydrolysis, FAB-MS and extensive NMR experiments. Compounds 2-4 showed moderate antifungal activity against Candida albicans with MIC values of 25, 25 and 30 microg/ml, respectively. Only soyasaponin I was found weakly hemolytic (HC(50) >500 microg/ml).
