Abstract
Four triterpenoids were isolated from the roots ofDipsacus asper. On the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, the structures of these compounds have been elucidated to be hederagenin (1), hederagenin 3-O-α-L-arabinoside (2). 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (3) and hederagenin 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4). The new glycoside,4, was named dipsacus saponin A.
