Notes:
Activity-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the fruits of Tetrapleura tetraptera TAUB. (Mimosaceae) afforded 4 saponins 1-4, which exhibited strong molluscicidal properties against the schistosomiasis-transmitting snails Biomphalaria glabrata. Chemical, enzymatic, and spectral methods (DCI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) showed that they were N-acetylglycosides of oleanolic acid and of echinocystic acid. Apart from saponin 1 (aridanin), previously isolated from this plant, glycosides 2-4 are new naturally occurring compounds.
