title: Triterpenoid saponins from Bellium bellidioides. Structures of the minor deacylsaponins.
abstract: A new deacylsaponin of polygalacic acid, desacylbellidioside B4, was obtained from the whole plants of Bellium bellidioides L. The structure has been elucidated by a general strategy involving mass spectrometry (ESI-MS, including tandem MS, and GC-MS) and high-field one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C NMR, COSY-45, HMQC, HMBC) as 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-2 beta, 3 beta, 16 alpha, 23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-alpha-L- rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-[alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-fucopyran oside. Moreover, bellissaponin BS2 and besysaponin C12 have also been isolated, demonstrating the close chemical relationship of B. bellidioides to the Bellis genus.
