Title: Cussonosides A and B, two triterpene-saponins from Cussonia barteri.
Abstract: Two major saponins have been isolated from the stem bark of CUSSONIA BARTERI Seem (Araliaceae). Structural elucidation employing mainly 1 H- and 13 C-NMR, FAB-MS and GC-MS spectroscopic methods revealed a new hederagenin 28- O-[α- L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 4)-β- D-glucopyranosyl (1 → 6)]-β- D-glucopyranosyl ester (Cussonoside A), and the corresponding oleanolic acid analogue (Cussonoside B). Cussonoside A exhibits a pronounced sedative effect.
