Abstract
Two new multiflorane triterpene esters, (3__α__,7__β__)‐3,7,29‐trihydroxymultiflor‐8‐ene‐3,29‐diyl dibenzoate (2) and (3__α__)‐3,29‐dihydroxy‐7‐oxomultiflor‐8‐ene‐3,29‐diyl dibenzoate (3) have been isolated from the CHCl~3~ extract of the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii, together with two known compounds, (3__α__,5__α__,22__E__)‐24‐ethylcholesta‐7,22,25(27)‐trien‐3‐ol and darutigenol. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR experiments, and by means of an X‐ray crystallographic analysis of 2. A preliminary cytotoxicity assay showed that 2 and 3 are basically inactive against the K562 cell line.

## Abstract A galactose‐specific lectin has been purified from the seeds of __Trichosanthes cordata__ by affinity chromatography on crosslinked guar gum. The affinity‐eluted lectin could be resolved into two isolectins, TCA‐I and TCA‐II by ion‐exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. The molecula
