High-resolution 2D 'H-n.m.r. spectroscopy has been used to establish the structure of an acetylated pentasaccharide saponin from the fruit of Blighia welwitschii as acetylated 3~-~-[~-D-Xylp-(1~3)-cY-I~-Arap-(l~4)-~-D-Glc~-(l~3)c-w-L-Rhap-(l-2)-cw-L-Araplhederagenin.

✦ Synopsis
A new glycosylated triterpene has been isolated from the fruit of Blighia welwitschii. The structural analysis of its peracetylated derivative (1) was performed by 2D homonuclear and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The saponin was shown to contain hederagenin and five sugar residues forming two glycosyl chains. The complete structure of the saponin was established to be 3-O-[beta-D-Glc p-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Rha p-(1-->2)-alpha- L-Ara p]-28-O-[beta-D-Glc p-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc p]hederagenin.

## Abstract Four new furostanol saponins (1–4), two pairs of diastereoisomers, were isolated from methanolic extracts of __T__upistra chinensis rhizomes and their structures were assigned from ^1^H and ^13^C NMR spectra, DEPT, and by 2D COSY, NOESY, HMQC, and HMBC experiments. Copyright © 2008 John
