Antisweet natural products .12. Structures of sitakisosides XI-XX from Stephanotis lutchuensis Koidz var japonica

From the fresh stem of Stephanotis lutchuensis var. japonica, ten new oleanane-type triterpenoid glycosides, named sitakisosides XI-XX (1-10), were isolated. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence. The results show that all have a 3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl (1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl moiety and the aglycones of sitakisosides XI-XV, XVI and XVII, XVIII and XIX, and XX are sitakisogenin, chichipegenin, marsglobiferin and longispinogenin, respectively. Sitakisosides XI-XIII, XVI and XVIII, having an acyl group, showed antisweet activity.
