Triterpene saponins from Tupidanthus calyptratus

J Nat Prod. 2001 Jun;64(6):750-3. doi: 10.1021/np000375y.

Abstract

Five new bisdesmosidic saponins (1--5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Tupidanthus calyptratus. Their structures were determined by (1)H--(1)H correlation spectroscopy (COSY, TOCSY, ROESY) and (1)H--(13)C correlation (HSQC, HMBC) NMR experiments, FABMS, and chemical data.
