title: Steroidal saponins from the roots of Trillium erectum (Beth root).
abstract: Eleven steroidal saponins including three previously unreported saponins 1-3, two known ecdysteroids and one fatty acid, have been isolated from the roots of Trillium erectum (Beth root) by RP-HPLC and characterized by spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR experiments) and spectrometric (LCMS) methods.
