title: Characterization of pentasaccharide glycosides from the roots of Ipomoea arborescens.
abstract: Ten new pentasaccharide glycosides, arboresins 1-6 (1-6) and murucins 6-9 (8-11), along with five known glycolipids, were isolated from the roots of Ipomoea arborescens, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-6 and 8-11 were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of cancer cell lines.
