✦ Synopsis


Triterpenoid saponins are naturally occurring sugar conjugates of triterpenes possessing various biological activities, including antiviral action. Two substances isolated from natural sources were tested against herpes simplex virus type 1 replication. They did not show evidence of cytotoxicity under antiviral test conditions. The triterpenoid saponin, isolated from a Brazilian plant (s21), represents the oleanane group and inhibited herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA synthesis. The triterpenoid saponin, isolated from a Chinese plant (s17), represents the ursane group and seemed to inhibit viral capsid protein synthesis of herpes simplex virus type 1.

Two novel triterpenoid saponins, phelasin A (1) and phelasin B (2), were isolated from the bark of Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb) Miq. The structures were established by one-and two-dimensional 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The aglycone of 1, phelasingenin (3), is a new compound characterized as 3ˇ-h
