A new triterpenoid saponin from the aerial parts of Cephalaria ambrosioides

Abstract

A new allose-containing triterpenoid saponin (1), along with a known saponin (2), were isolated from the aerial parts of Cephalaria ambrosioides. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic (2D-NMR and ESI-MS) methods. The preferred conformation of 1 was determined by the NOESY spectrum.
