J Nat Prod. 2006 Nov;69(11):1577-81. | Biologically active triterpenoid saponins from Acanthopanax senticosus.[Pubmed: 17125224 ] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Three new triterpenoid saponins, acanthopanaxoside A (1), Acanthopanaxoside B (7), and acanthopanaxoside C (13), were isolated from the leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus, together with 12 known saponins. The structures of these new saponins were established as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-30-nor-olean-12,20(29)-dien-28-oic acid 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-6-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1), 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl oleanolic acid 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-6-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (7), and 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-3beta-hydroxyolean-12-ene-28,29-dioic acid (13), on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical degradation. Among the known compounds, sessiloside and tauroside H1 are reported for the first time from A. senticosus.
CONCLUSIONS:
The biological activity of compounds 1-15 was examined against pancreatic lipase. Ciwujianoside C1 (6), tauroside H1 (11), 3-O-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-arabinopyranosyl mesembryanthemoidigenic acid (12), acanthopanaxoside C (13), sessiloside (14), and chiisanoside (15) inhibited pancreatic lipase activity in vitro. In turn, ciwujianosides C2 (3), D2 (5), C4 (8), and C3 (10) and hederasaponin B (9) enhanced this enzyme. |
