Abstract

Two new steroidal saponins were isolated from the Chinese folk medicine called Gualou-xiebai-baijiu-tang. The structures were determined to be spirost 25(27)-ene-2beta,3beta-diol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranoside and 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-22alpha-hydroxy-5beta-furost-25(27)-ene-1beta,3beta,6beta,26-tetraol-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside, respectively, based on chemical evidences and spectral analysis.
