Key Word Index - Anemone narcissiflora; Ranunculaceae; narcissiflorine, narcissiflorinine; narcissifloridine; saponins; oleanolic derivatives. Narcissiflorine, narcissiflorinine and narcissifloridine, three new saponins, have been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Anemone narcissiflora (Ranunculaceae).The structural elucidation of narcissiflorine, narcissiflorinine and narcissifloridine has showed them to be <α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1-->4)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1-->3)>-3β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid, <α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1-->2)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1-->3)>-3β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid and <α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1-->2)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)>-3-β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid, respectively.
