✦ Synopsis
Two major active components of gymnemic acids were isolated in pure state. Their chemical structures were established as D-glucuronide of 38,16P,21@,22a,23,28-hexahydroxyolean-12-ene which is esterified with tiglic acid or 2-methylbutyric acid at 21-C hydroxy group, respectively. The antisweet activity of these compounds is discussed in relation to their structures.
