Abstract
Phenolic glycosides of young subterranean stems of Aloe saponaria HAW. were examined to afford compound A-F. On the basis of chemical and spectral evidences the structures of compound A (I), B (III), C (IV), D (V), E (VI) and F (VII) were determined to be 3-(1'-hydroxyethyl)-4-methoxy-5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid lactone 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (I), aloesaponol III 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (III), aloesaponol I 6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (IV), aloesaponol II 6-O-D-glucopyranoside (V), aloenin (VI) and aloesin (VII), respectively.
