New Acylated Saponins fromPolygala myrtifolia
2003
The ten new acylated presenegenin (=(2β,3β,4α)-2,3,27-trihydroxyolean-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid) glycosides 1–10 have been isolated by successive MPLC from the roots of Polygala myrtifolia L. as five inseparable mixtures of the trans- and cis-4-methoxycinnamoyl derivatives, i.e., myrtifoliosides A1/A2 (1/2), B1/B2 (3/4), C1/C2 (5/6), D1/D2 (7/8), and E1/E2 (9/10). Their structures were elucidated mainly by extensive spectroscopic experiments, including 2D NMR techniques, as 3-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)presenegenin 28-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-[D-apio-β-D-furanosyl-(13)]-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(13)]-4-O-(trans-4-methoxycinnamoyl)-β-D-fucopy…
New Triterpenoidal Saponins Acylated with Monoterpenic Acid fromAlbizia adianthifolia
2004
Four new triterpenoidal saponins acylated with monoterpenic acid, i.e., adianthifoliosides C, D, E, and F (1–4), besides the two known julibroside III and the monodesmonoterpenyl elliptoside A, were isolated from the roots of Albizia adianthifolia. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies and mass spectrometry as 3-O-{O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(12)-O-β-d-fucopyranosyl-(16)-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(12)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl}-21-O-{(2E,6S)-6-{{4-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-(β-D-quinovopyranosyloxy)octa-2,7-dienoyl]-β-d-quinovopyranosyl}oxy}-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methylocta-2,7-dienoyl}acacic acid 28-{O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(14)-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(13)]-O-α-L-r…
Induction of apoptosis in a leukemia cell line by triterpene saponins from Albizia adianthifolia
2004
Abstract Triterpenoid saponins, which are present in plants and some marine animals, exert various important pharmacological effects. The present study examines the effects of adianthifoliosides A, B, and D (AdA, AdB, and AdD) together with two prosapogenins (Pro1 and Pro2) obtained from Albizia adianthifolia (Mimosaceae) on human leukemia T-cells (Jurkat cells) and on splenocytes. AdA, AdB, and AdD were found to exhibit a cytotoxic effect on Jurkat cells, whereas the prosapogenins were found to exert a lymphoproliferative effect on this cell type. Furthermore, all tested compounds were found to exert a synergistic lymphoproliferative activity with concanavalin A (ConA) on splenocytes. The …
New Triterpene Saponins fromAcanthophyllum pachystegium
2004
Four new triterpenoid saponins, pachystegiosides A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), were isolated from the roots of Acanthophyllum pachystegium K. H. Their structures were elucidated by means of a combination of homo- and heteronuclear 2D-NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FAB-MS. The new compounds were characterized as 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[3,4-di-O-acetyl-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(14)]-β-D-fucopyranosyl}ester (1), 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-…
Two new biologically active triterpenoidal saponins acylated with salicylic acid from Albizia adianthifolia
2003
International audience; Two new oleanane-type triterpene saponins, adianthifoliosides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a 95% ethanolic extract of roots of Albizia adianthifolia. Their structures were elucidated mainly by using a combination of 600 MHz 1D and 2D NMR techniques (COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FABMS and HRESIMS. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized as glycosides of acacic acid acylated by an o-hydroxybenzoyl unit. The crude saponin mixture (CSM), compounds 1 and 2 together with 3 and 4 (prosapogenins obtained from the mild alkaline hydrolysate of the CSM), were evaluated for immunomodulatory activity on the Jurkat T cell line and for hemolytic property against s…
