title: Triterpenoid saponins from Ilex kudincha.
abstract: Ten new triterpene saponins, ilekudinosides A-J (2, 6-8, 10, 13-17), together with seven known triterpene saponins, ilexoside XLVIII (1); cynarasaponin C (5); latifolosides A (9), C (3), G (12), and H (4); and kudinoside G (11), were isolated from an aqueous extract of the leaves of Ilex kudincha. They possessed oleanane- and ursane-type triterpenoids as the aglycons. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments, including ROE difference, HOHAHA difference, 1H-1H COSY, and 1H-13C COSY (HMQC, HMBC) methods and sugar analysis. Compounds 1 and 5 exhibited acyl CoA cholesteryl acyl transferase (ACAT) inhibitory activity.
