Two triterpene glycosides of the oleanane series, melilotoside A2 and previously known adzukisaponin V, were isolated from the roots of Melilotus tauricus (L.) Pall. (Fabaceae). The structures of the glycosides were proved based on chemical transformations. Melilotoside A2 had the structure soyasapogenol B 3-O-β-D-glucouronopyranoside; adzukisaponin V, soyasapogenol B 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-Dglucopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-D-glucuronopyranoside].
                                    从 Melilotus tauricus (L.) Pall.(豆科植物)的根中分离出了两种齐墩果烷系列的三萜苷,即 Melilotoside A2 和以前已知的 adzukisaponin V。(豆科)根中分离出来。这些苷的结构是通过
化学转化得到证实的。Melilotoside A2 的结构为 soyasapogenol B 3-O-β-D-glucouronopyranoside; adzukisaponin V, soyasapogenol B 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-Dglucopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-D-glucuronopyranoside].
