TL;DR: In a continuing study on saponin constituents of quinoa, seven oleanane saponins were isolated from brans of the grains as discussed by the authors, two of them were identified as known oleanolic acid, chikusetsusaponin IVa from rhizomes of Panax spp. and quinoside D from seeds of this plant, respectively.
Abstract: Grains of Quinoa, Chenopodium quinoa have been used as a staple food in the Andes, South America. In a continuing study on saponin constituents of this plant, seven oleanane saponins were isolated from brans of the grains. Two of them were identified as known saponins of oleanolic acid, chikusetsusaponin IVa from rhizomes of Panax spp. and quinoside D from seeds of this plant, respectively. The other five compounds are new saponins, being designated as quinoa-saponins-6−10. The structures of these saponins were elucidated as follows: 3-O-[β-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-α-arabinopyranoside]-28-O-β-glucopyranoside of 30-O-methyl spergulagenate, oleanolic acid and phytolaccagenic acid, hederagenin 3-O-β-glucuronide-28-O-β-glucopyranoside; hederagenin 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-β-glucuronide-28-O-β-glucopyranoside

Abstract: Eleven triterpenoidal saponins having oleanolic acid or hederagenin as the aglycone and two flavonoidal glycosides were isolated from the leaves of Aralia elata SEEM. (Araliaceae). The structures of four new saponins (1, 2, 3, and 4) were established to be 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-hederagenin 28-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-oleanolic acid 28-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-hederagenin 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, and 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L arabinopyranosyl-hederagenin, respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

TL;DR: From the rhizome of ANEMONE FLACCIDA Fr.
Abstract: From the rhizome of ANEMONE FLACCIDA Fr. Schmidt, used in Chinese folk medicine, four saponins of oleanolic acid-A,B,C,D were isolated. By means of spectroscopy and chemical transformation, saponins A, B, and D were identified as 3- O-[alpha- L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha- L-arabinopyrasyl]-oleanolic acid, 3- O-[alpha- L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta- D-xylopyranosyl]-oleanolic acid, and 3- O-[alpha- L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta- D-glucopyranosyl]-oleanolic acid. These three saponins are known compounds but isolated from ANEMONE plants for the first time. Saponin C was elucidated as 3- O-[beta- D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta- D-xylopyranosy1]-oleanolic acid, which has not been reported in the literature before, and is named as flaccidoside I.

TL;DR: In this paper, from rhizomes of a Chinese cucurbitaceous medicinal plant, Hemsleya graciliflora, eight oleanolic glucuronide saponins were isolated together with three known cucur-bitane-type triterpenes, i.e., dihydrocucurbitacin F, 25-O-acetyl-dihydrocucuronide F and its 2 O-β-glucosides.
Abstract: From rhizomes of a Chinese cucurbitaceous medicinal plant, Hemsleya graciliflora, eight oleanolic glucuronide saponins were isolated together with three known cucurbitane-type triterpenes, dihydrocucurbitacin F, 25-O-acetyl-dihydrocucurbitacin F and its 2-O-β-glucosides. Of these saponins, six were known and identified as β-D-glucosyl ester of oleanolic acid, chikusetsusaponins IV a and V and hemslosides Ma1, Ma3 and H1. Structures of two new saponins called hemslosides G1 and G2 were elucidated as β-gentiobiosyl esters of oleanolic acid 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucuronide and oleanolic acid 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucuronide, respectively.

TL;DR: A saponin fraction has been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Grindeliae herba and showed strong haemolytic activity, and the antibiotic potency of the crude drug is not associated with the sap onin fraction but is at least partially due to the resin fraction.
Abstract: A saponin fraction has been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Grindeliae herba. The saponin fraction showed strong haemolytic activity. The saponins were detected after separation on TLC by their color reactions and Rf values as well as by their haemolytic activity on blood agar. After hydrolysis, the chemical reactions and Rf values of the sapogenins were described. The main sapogenin was isolated by preparative chromatography and its structure was elucidated by mass, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and UV spectra. The compound is a new natural triterpenoid sapogenin lactone and is named grindeliasapogenin D. Spectral evidence is presented to establish its structure as 2 beta,3 beta,16 alpha,23-tetrahydroxyoleanan-28,13 beta-olide. Two further sapogenins present in small amounts were identified chromatographically as oleanolic acid and bayogenin using authentic reference substances. The aerial parts of Grindelia robusta Nutt, and G. lanceolata Nutt. (Asteraceae) (as well as two commercial extracts) were also investigated with respect to their saponin fraction. The 3 sapogenins mentioned above were detected in all samples. The antibiotic potency of the crude drug is not associated with the saponin fraction but is at least partially due to the resin fraction.
