Four triterpenoid saponins were isolated from Berneuxia thibetica. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, three new saponins, berneuxia saponins A, B and C, were elucidated as 21-tigloylbarringtogenol C-3 beta-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->3)[bet a- D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside], 28-tigloylbarringtogenol C-3 beta-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->3)[bet a- D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside] and 16 alpha-28-dihydroxyolean-12-en-21-one-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 -->2) -beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->3)[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D- glucuronopyranoside]. The known saponin was desacyl jegosaponin.
