STUDIES ON THE CONSTITUENTS OF CALLIANDRA-ANOMALA (KUNTH) MACBR .2. STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF 4 ACYLATED TRITERPENOIDAL SAPONINS

Four new triterpenoidal saponins, called calliandra saponins B (8), C (9), D (10), and F (12), were isolated from the branches of Callinndra anomala (KUNTH) MACBR. The structures of these compounds were establi shed on the basis of NMR spectra, FAB-MS, and the chemical evidence. T hese saponins, interestingly, have a N-acetyl glucosamine at the 3 pos ition of the genin, and one or two monoterpene glycosides at the posit ion of the sugar chain.
