Abstract

Seven oleanolic acid saponins (1-7) were isolated from the aerial parts of Kochia indica Wight. (Chenopodiaceae), of which saponins (4-7) are seco-glycosides containing acidic substituents at C-3 of glucuronic acid. Compounds (1-6) have been isolated for the first time from genus Kochia and compound (7) is first reported from family Chenopodiaceae. The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic methods and by comparison with previously reported data.
