title: Triterpenoid saponins from Opilia celtidifolia.
abstract: Six saponins were isolated from leaves and stems of Opilia celtidifolia and their structures established. These saponins are described for the first time in this plant. One of them is a new saponin: 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->3) beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-hederagen in.
