Three new saponins were isolated from the aerial parts of Fagonia moll
is. They were characterized as oleanolic acid-3-O-6'-O-methyl-beta-D-g
lucuronopyranoside, oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 -->
3)-6'-O-methyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside and oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha
-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 --> 3)-6'-O-methyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl 28-
O-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The structures of these saponins were determ
ined on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence.
