title: Pentasaccharide glycosides from the roots of Ipomoea murucoides.
abstract: Five pentasaccharide glycosides, murucins 1-5 (1-5), were isolated from the roots of the arboreal species Ipomoea murucoides, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-5 were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of cancer cell lines.
