title: Triterpenoid saponins from Phytolacca rivinoides and Phytolacca bogotensis.
abstract: Investigation of the ethanolic extracts from Phytolacca rivinoides and P. bogotensis has resulted in the isolation of five new triterpenoid glycosides of serjanic acid. Their structures have been established mainly by spectroscopic methods (FAB-MS, 1H, 13C NMR, COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HETCOR and J-resolved 1H NMR) as 3-O-(O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)serjan ic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-(O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-[beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)] -O- beta-D-glucopyranosyl)serjanic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-(O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)- O-beta-glucopyranosyl)serjanic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-(O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)- O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)serjanic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester and 3-O-(O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)] - O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)serjanic acid.
