1 ISOLATION OF ANTISWEET SUBSTANCES,STRUCTURE ELUCIDATON AND ANTISWEET ACTIVITIES
The EtOH extract obtained from the fresh stem of Stephanotis lutchuensis KOIDZ.var.Japonica was subjected to Amberlite XAD-2 column chromatography to give a saponin fraction. Repeated separation of the saponin fraction by gel filtration of Sephadex LH-20 and C_<18>-HPLC gave ten new compounds named sitakisosides XI,XII,XIII,XIV,XV,XVI,XVII,XVIII,XIX,and XX.Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, acid hydrolysis and alkaline hydrolysis. 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. They have one N-methylanthraniloyl group or tigloyl group at C-21 or C-22 or C-28. A 1 mM solution of any of sitakisosides XI-XIII,XVI and XVIII led to complete suppression of the sensation of sweetness induced by 0.2 M sucrose. Sitakisosides XIV,XV,XVII,XIX and XX,with no acyl group, had no activity. The activities of sitakisosides XI-XIII,XVI and XVIII were half those of gymnemic acids III and IV.
2 ISOLATION OF STEROIDAL SAPONINS AND STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION
During the isolation of the antisweet substsnces, ten related oxypregnane-oligoglycosides stephanosides A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,and J were also isotated from the fresh stem of Stephanotis lutchuensis var.Japonica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of a detailed study of their high-field ^1H-and ^<13>C-NMR spectra. All the sugars are beta (1*4) -linked and the aglycones are 12,20 bis-O-acyl or 12-O-acyl derivatives of sarcostin.
