Five pentacyclic triterpenoid glycosyl esters have been isolated from
the aerial parts of Rubus pileatus and three of them are new compounds
. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data and c
hemical transformations as 3 beta,19 alpha-dihydroxyurs-12-en-24,28-di
oic acid-28-O-(6'-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) ester, 2 alpha,3 bet

en-24,28-dioic acid-28-O-(3'-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) ester. (C
