Abstract

Three new compounds, myrsinoside A (=2,4‐dihydroxy‐6‐methylphenyl β‐D‐(6′‐galloyl)glucopyranoside; 1), myrsinoside B (2,4‐dihydroxy‐6‐methylphenyl β‐D‐glucopyranoside; 2), and (3__β__,16__α__,20__α__)‐3,16,28‐trihydroxyolean‐12‐en‐29‐oic acid 3‐{O‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐O‐[β‐D‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)]‐α‐L‐arabinopyranoside} (3), along with four known compounds, were isolated from the stems of Myrsine africana L. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR and ESI‐MS techniques, and chemical methods.
