Key Word Index - Gleditsia japonica; Leguminosae; saponins; bisdesmoside; echinocystic acid derivatives; Gleditsia saponin C. Prosapogenin was obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of Gleditsia saponin GS-C (echinocystic acid 3,28-O-bisdesmoside), a new triterpenoid saponin isolated from Gleditsia japonica.Prosapogenin was shown on the basis of chemical and physicochemical data to be echinocystic acid 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-6)-β-D-glucopyranoside.
