  • Chromatographic techniques (e.g., column chromatography) for isolation of saponins.
  • Spectroscopic methods (e.g., NMR, Mass Spectrometry) for structural elucidation.

    • Main Results:

    • Three new triterpenoidal saponins were isolated and their structures determined.
    • The new compounds were identified as 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-methylphytolaccagenate (2), 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-methylphytolaccagenate 28-O-beta-glucopyranoside (3), and 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-glucuronopyranosyl]-30-methylserjanate 28-O-beta-glucopyranoside (4).
    • Nine known saponins, including derivatives of oleanolic acid, hederagenin, and 30-methyl phytolaccagenate, were also identified.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully identified novel triterpenoidal saponins from Cornulaca monacantha.
    • The findings expand the repertoire of known saponins from this plant species.
    • This research provides a basis for further investigation into the biological activities and potential applications of these compounds.
