Abstract

Abstract Image

Ten new triterpenoid saponins (110), named rubusides A−J, and 21 known saponins (1131) were isolated from the roots of Rubus ellipticus var. obcordatus. The structures of 110 were established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, mainly NMR and MS, and chemical degradations. The compounds demonstrated inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase with IC50 values in the range 0.65−3.09 mM.
