title: Cussosaponins A-E, triterpene saponins from the leaves of Cussonia racemosa, a Malagasy endemic plant.
abstract: Five new triterpene saponins, cussosaponins A (2), B (3), C (4), D (5), and E (6), were isolated from the dried leaves of Cussonia racemosa BAKER. The structures of these new compounds were deduced on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
