title: Excelsoside: a new benzylic diglycoside from the leaves of Milicia excelsa.
abstract: A new benzylic diglycoside was isolated from the leaves of Milicia excelsa and identified as 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl beta-D-xylopyranosyl (1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1). It was obtained together with four known secondary metabolites including lupeol acetate (2), ursolic acid (3), triacontyl (E)-ferulate (4), and 2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5,6-diol (5). Their structures were determined based on their spectroscopic data and by comparison with those reported in the literature.
