Fifteen new dammarane glycosides (1-15), together with four known compounds, gypenosides IV, VIII, LXXI, and XLIX, were isolated from the MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectra interpretation as well as by chemical degradation.

D006027	Glycosides	Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.
