Four acylated oleanane-type triterpene oligoglycosides, sanchakasaponins E-H, were isolated from the flower buds of Camellia japonica cultivated in Yunnan province, China, together with four known triterpene oligoglycosides. The chemical structures of the new triterpene oligoglycosides were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. The inhibitory effects of the triterpene oligoglycoside constituents on melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated B16 melanoma 4A5 cells were investigated.

Chemical investigation of Maesa lanceolata leaves aqueous MeOH extract has led to the isolation of eight new triterpene glycosides identified as 16-oxo-28-hydroxyolean-12-ene 3-O-β-glucopyranosyl-(1''→6')-β- glucopyranoside 1, 16α, 28-dihydroxyolean-12-ene 3-O-β-[(6"-O- galloylglucopyranosyl-(1"→2')][β-glucopyranosyl-(1'''→6')] -β-glucopyranoside 2, 16α, 22α, 28-trihydroxyolean-12-ene 3-O-[β-glucopyranosyl-(1"→2')] [α-rhamnopyranosyl- (1'''→6']-β-glucopyranoside 3, 22α-acetyl-16α- hydroxyolean-12-en-28-al 3-O-[α-rhamnopyranosyl- (1""→6"')-β-glucopyranosyl-(1"'→3')] [β-glucopyranosyl-(1"→2')]-β-arabinopyranoside 4, 22α-acetyl-16α,21 β-dihydroxyoleanane-13β:28-olide 3-O-[β-glucopyranosyl-(1'''→6')] [6''-O-coumaroylglucopyranosyl- (1''→2')]-β-glucopyranoside 5, 16α,22α-diacetyl-21β- angeloyloleanane-13β:28-olide 3 β-O-[β-glucopyranosyl- (1''→2')][β-glucopyranosyl-(1'''→4')]-β-glucopyranoside 6, 16α, 22α, 28-trihydroxy-21β-angeloyloleanan-12-ene 3 β-O-[α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1'''→6'')][β-glucopyranosyl- (1''→2')]-β-xylopyranoside 7, 16α, 28-dihydroxy-22α- acetyl-21β-angeloylolean-12-ene 3-O-[β-galactopyranosyl- (1"→2')] [α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1'"→4')]-α- arabinopyranoside 8. Together with these were known compounds quercetin, myricetin, quercetin 3-O-rhamnopyranoside, myricetin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside, gallic acid, sistosterol 3-O-β-glucopyranoside, rutin, myricetin 3-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1"→3')-β-glucopyranoside and quercetin 3,7-O-β-diglucopyranoside. Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods as well as comparison with data from known compounds. The in vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous MeOH extract of the leaves of M. lanceolata was also investigated and zones of inhibition ranging from 28±0.1 to 10±0.2 mm were observed. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the extract ranged between 100 to 1000 μg/ml with the highest activity being observed with Vibro cholerae. Among the pure isolates, compound 6 was the most active and its highest recorded MIC value was 62.5 μg/ml against V. cholerae. ARKAT-USA, Inc.
