Triterpenoid saponins from Ardisia mamillata

Two saponins were isolated from the roots of Ardisia mamillata HANCE. Their structures were established on the basis of MALDI-TOFMS, 1H, 13C NMR and 2D NMR (COSY, HOHAHA, HETCOR, HMBC and ROESY) spectra, and on chemical evidence, to be ardisimamilloside A, 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl]-3beta, 16alpha,28alpha-trihydroxy-13beta,28-epoxy-oleanan+ ++-30-al; and ardisimamilloside B, 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-( 1 --> 2)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl]-beta3-hydroxy-13beta,28- epoxy-oleanan-16-oxo-30-al.
