title: Oleanolic acid saponins from root-bark of Aralia elata.
abstract: Five new oleanolic acid glycosides, tarasaponins III-VII, were isolated from the dried root-bark of Aralia elata together with stipuleanoside R2, in addition to eight saponins previously reported. They were characterized as oleanolic acid 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)] [beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, beta-D-glucopyranosyl oleanolate 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)][alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl (1-->4)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside, beta-D-glucopyranosyl oleanolate 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)][beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->3)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside, beta-D-glucopyranosyl oleanolate 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)][beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->3)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, respectively.
