A new triterpene saponin from stem of Camellia oleifera / 中草药

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the stem of Camellia oleifera. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, and PHPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and special analysis. Results: Three compounds were isolated from the stem of C. oleifera and elucidated as 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-3β,15α, 16α,22α,28-pentol-22-O-angeloyloxy-olean-12-ene (1), camelliasaponin B2 (2), gordonsaponin H (3). Conclusion: Compound 1 was a new compound, and compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from the stem of this plant for the first time.
