Abstract
From the root barks of a Central African tree Millettia dubia De Wild. (Fabaceae), ten previously undescribed oleanane-type glycosides were isolated by various chromatographic protocols. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, mainly 2D NMR experiments and mass spectrometry, as mono- and bidesmosidic glycosides of mesembryanthemoidigenic acid, hederagenin and oleanolic acid. The stimulation of the sweet taste receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3 by these glycosides was evaluated, and structure/activity relationships were proposed. Two of them showed an agonist effect on TAS1R2/TAS1R3.
