Three new triterpenoid saponins from root of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis

Three new compounds (Gardeniside A–C), 11α,12α-epoxy-3β-[(O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside-6′-O-methly ester)oxy]olean-28,13-olide (1), siaresinolic acid 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside-6′-O-methly ester (2), and 3-O-β-D- glucuronopyranoside-6′-O-methly ester-siaresinolic acid-28-O-β-D- glucopyranoside (3), with seven known compounds oleanolic acid 3-O-β-D- glucuronopyranoside-6′-O-methly ester (4), oleanolic acid 3-O-β-D- glucuropyranoside (5), hederagenin 3-O-β-D- glucuronopyranoside-6′-O- methly ester (6), chikusetsusaponin IVa methyl ester (7), chikusetsusaponin (8), chikusetsusaponin IVa butyl ester (9), siaresinolic acid 28-o-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (10) were isolated from the root of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Six compounds (1, 4–7, and 9) showed cytotoxic activities against HeLa, A549, MCF-7 and A354-S2 cell lines.
