Abstract

Ten saponins have been isolated from the deacylated saponin mixture of Bellis perennis L. The structures of these saponins can be divided into two groups that show differences both in the aglycone and the carbohydrate moieties bound at C-28. The first group consists of glycosides of polygalacic acid with tri- or tetrasaccharide moieties consisting mainly of deoxyhexoses and a second group of glycosides of bayogenin or asterogenic acid which possess glucose as major carbohydrate moiety and one xylose or rharnnose unit. From the most polar fraction of the alkaline hydrolysate obtained from the underground parts of Bellis perennis one saponin possessing only glucose residues has been obtained. On the basis of a sugar methylation analysis and NMR spectral data, the structure was established as 3-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-2ß,3ß,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O-ß-D-glucoyranosyl-(1→2)-[ß-D-glucopyranosyl(1→6)]-ß-D-glucopyranoside.
