Abstract
Five new saponins named elatosides G, H, I, J, and K were isolated fro m a garnish foodstuff ''Taranome,'' the young shoot of Aralia elata SE EM., together with hederagenin-3-O-glucuronopyranoside and elatoside C . Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical a nd physicochemical evidence. Elatosides G, Fl, and I were found to exh ibit potent hypoglycemic activity in the oral glucose tolerance test i n rats.
