Three new phenolic glycosides named eriosemasides A-C, one novel (named eri
osematin F) and four known phenolic constituents were isolated from the n-B
uOH-soluble fraction of the roots of Eliosema tuberosum. Their structures w
ere established by spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. All the phe
nolic compounds were fungitoxic except the phenolic glycosides. (C) 1999 El
