Abstract:Four new oleanane triterpenoidal saponins,arillatanoside A-D,together with a known saponin polygalasaponin XXXV were isolated from the stem bark of Polygala arillata.The structures of new saponins were established to be 28-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)0β-D-fucopyranosyl presenegenin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.
