Abstract
Two triterpenoid saponins have been isolated from the seed kernels of Entada rheedii. Their structures have been established using 1D- and 2D-NMR and MS as 3-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-2-acetylamino-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosylentagenic acid 28-O-β-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (Rheediinoside A, 1) and 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 6)]-2-acetylamino-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosylentagenic acid 28-O-β-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (Rheediinoside B, 2). Moderate cytotoxic potency and antioxidant properties were found for these compounds.
