Department of Natural Medicinal Chemistry, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing 210009, People's Republic of China.

Two new triterpenoid saponins (1, 2) were isolated from the roots of Gypsophila altissima L. (Caryophyllaceae), together with a known compound (3). The structures of new saponins were established as quillaic acid 3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (1), and 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl quillaic acid 28-O-(6-O-acetyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-fucopyranoside (2), on the basis of various spectroscopic analyses (including heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS)) and chemical degradations.

D012503	Saponins	A type of glycoside widely distributed in plants. Each consists of a sapogenin as the aglycone moiety, and a sugar. The sapogenin may be a steroid or a triterpene and the sugar may be glucose, galactose, a pentose, or a methylpentose.	Saponin
D013045	Species Specificity	The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
