Four novel triterpene glycosides named bodinitins A (1), B (2), C (3),
and D (4) were isolated from the roots of Schefflera bodinieri. Based
on spectroscopic data, especially H-1-H-1 COSY and C-13-H-1 COSY NMR,
the structures of the glycosides have been determined as a-D-glucopyr
anosyl-(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside of demethylisoaleuritolic acid
(1), ta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside of isoaleurito
lic acid (2), ta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside of 3-
oxo-8-demethylisoaleuritolic acid (3), and ta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)]
-beta-D-glucopyranoside of 3-oxoisoaleuritolic acid (4).
