Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of Gynostemma pentaphyllum led to the purification of five novel dammarane-type triterpene isolates, gypenosides B1 - B5 (1-5). Their structures were determined through comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses and HRESIMS data. Of note, 1-3 are inseparable mixtures of epimers due to their unstable nature, and a total of eight dammarane-type triterpene saponins were identified. Additionally, the protective activities of these new compounds against PC12 cell injury induced by hypoxia were evaluated.
