Twonewdisulfated triterpene glycosides, pentactasides B and C (1 and 2, resp.), were isolated from the sea cucumber Pentacta quadrangularis collected from the South China Sea. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectral analysis (2D-NMR and MS) and chemical methods. The compounds 1 and 2 possess the same tetrasaccharide moieties with two sulfated groups, but are different in the side chains
A water-soluble crude polysaccharide, obtained from fern Pteridium aquilinum, was fractionated by DEAE-Sepharose Fast-Flow column chromatography, and purified by Sephacryl S-400 HR column chromatography. The average molecular weight (M-w) of the purified polysaccharide (PLP) is 458,000 Da. The monosaccharide components of PLP were characterized by gas chromatography (GC), and the majority of the monosaccharide components was glucose (relative mass 58.1%) with low levels of galactose, mannose, rhamnose, and arabinose (relative mass 18.7%, 6.8%, 10.2%, and 6.1%, respectively). The Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) of PLP revealed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. On the basis of the ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP), DPPH radical-scavenging, the superoxide radical assay, and self-oxidation of 1,2,3-phentriol assay, the antioxidant activities of PLP were investigated. The purified polysaccharide was demonstrated to have strong reductive power (FRAP value: 827.6 mu mol/L), moderate scavenging activities against DPPH radicals (83.1%) and superoxide radicals (60.5%), and moderate inhibiting power for self-oxidation of 1,2,3-phentriol (52.4%).

Two new furostanol saponins, terrestroside A, 3-O--D-xylopyranosyl-(1 3)-[-D-xylopyranosyl(1 2)]--D-glucopyranosyl(1 4)-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 2)]--D-galactopyranosy}-26-O--D-glucopyranosyl-L-5a-furost-20(22)-en-(25R)-3,26-diol (1) and terrestroside B, 3-O--D-xylopyran-osyl(1 3)-[-D-xylopyranosyl(1 2)]--D-glucopyranosyl(1 4)-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 2)]--D-galactopyranosy}-26-O--D-glucopyranosyl-5a-furostan-12-one-(25R)-22-methoxy-3,26-diol (2), together with three known compounds, chloromaloside E (3), terrestrinin B (4) and terrestroneoside A (5) were isolated from the dry fruits of Tribulus terrestris. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of the compounds on tumour cells were evaluated, and compounds 1-5 showed potential anti-tumour activity.

AbstractThree new dammarane‐type triterpenoid saponins, 1–3, were isolated and identified as (20S)‐20‐O‐[β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl]dammar‐24‐ene‐3β,6α,12β, 20‐tetrol (1), (20S)‐6‐O‐[(E)‐but‐2‐enoyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl]dammar‐24‐ene‐3β,6α,12β,20‐tetrol (2), and (20S)‐6‐O‐[β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl]dammar‐24‐ene‐3β,6α,12β,20‐tetrol (3) from the roots of Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F.H.Chen (Araliaceae). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR techniques and HR‐ESI‐MS, as well as by acidic hydrolysis.
