Saponins from Mussaenda pubescens

Phytochemistry. 1996 Jun;42(3):827-30. doi: 10.1016/0031-9422(95)00028-3.

Abstract

From the hydrophilic fractions of aerial parts of Mussaenda pubescens, three new saponins named mussaendosides D, E and H, along with a known saponin, mussaendoside S, were isolated. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence.
