Leucasin, a triterpene saponin from Leucas nutans.
A new saponin, leucasin, has been isolated from Leucas nutans and characterized on the basis of chemical investigation and spectroscopic studies as 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1----2)beta-D-glucopyranosyl]2 alpha, 3 beta-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene. Lupeol palmitate, sitosterol and stigmasterol were also isolated.
