title: Steroidal saponins from Tribulus terrestris.
abstract: Three new steroidal saponins were isolated from the fruits of Tribulus terrestris, and their structures were elucidated as (25R,S)-5 alpha-spirostane-12-one-3 beta-ol-3-O-beta-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)- [beta-xylopyranosyl(1-->3)]-beta-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)-[alpha-rhamno- pyranosyl(1-->2)]-beta-galactopyranoside; 26-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(25S)-5 alpha-furostane-12-one-3 beta,22 alpha,26-triol-3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-galactopyranoside; 26-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(25S)-5 alpha-furostane-12-one-3 beta,22 alpha,26-triol-3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)-[alpha- rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)]-beta-galactopyranoside, respectively, by spectroscopic analysis and color reaction.
