Five new triterpene glycosides, namely lonicerosides F–J (
1–
5), together with five known ones, were isolated from the stems and leaves of
Lonicera japonica. Based on extensive spectroscopic analysis, including two-dimensional (2D)-NMR experiments, and the results of hydrolysis, the structures of the new compounds were determined to be 3β-[(β-
D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid
O-β-
D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-[α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-
D-glucopyranosyl ester (loniceroside F), 3β-[(β-
D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid
O-(3-
O-acetyl-β-
D-xylopyranosyl)-(1→6)-[α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-
D-glucopyranosyl ester (loniceroside G), 3β-[(β-
D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid
O-(4-
O-acetyl-β-
D-xylopyranosyl)-(1→6)-[α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-
D-glucopyranosyl ester (loniceroside H), 3β-[(α-
L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid
O-(3-
O-acetyl-β-
D-xylopyranosyl)-(1→6)-[α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-
D-glucopyranosyl ester (loniceroside I), and 3β-[(α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-
D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-olean-12-en-28-oic acid
O-α-
L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-
D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-
D-glucopyranosyl ester (loniceroside J).
