Abstract

Camellia saponin was isolated from Camellia japonica L. The saponin was first hydrolyzed by alkali to give prosapogenin and was further hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid to yield camelliagenin A, B and C. Camelliagenin A was derived from camelliagenin B by Wolff-Kishner reduction, and camelliagenin C also derived from camelliagenin B by LiAlH4 reduction. The physical and the chemical results suggested that these sapogenins belong to the pentacyclic triterpenes.
