Two new saponins,3 O {〔β D glucopyranosyl (1→2)〕 〔β D glucopyranosyl (1→3) β D glucopyranosyl (1→3)〕 β D glucopyranosyl} oleanolic acid 28 O β D glucopyranosyl ester,(congmunoside Ⅹ,1);3 O {〔β D glucopyranosyl (1→3)〕 〔α L arabinofuranosyl (1→4)〕 β D glucuronopyranosyl} oleanolic acid 28 O β D glucopyranosyl (1→6) β D glucopyranoside,(congmunoside Ⅺ,2)were isolated from the root bark of Aralia elata (Miq.)Seem.Their structures were determined on the basis of the chemical and spectroscopy methods.
Five triterpenoidal compounds were isolated from the ethanol extracts of Diospyros kaki leaves and identified as uvaol(1),oleanolic acid(2),betulinic acid(3),19α hydroxyursolic acid(4) and 19α,24 dihydroxyursolic acid(5).Compound 5 was isolated from Diospyros genus for the first time.
