Abstract
A novel steroidal saponin, named aculeoside A, embracing a deoxyaldoke tose, 6-deoxy-D-glycero-L-threo-4-hexosulose, was isolated from the un derground parts of Ruscus aculeatus. The structure was determined by e xtensive 2D NMR analysis and hydrolysis. Aculeoside A was active as a cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor.
