New saponins, named gypenosides LVI (1), LVII (2), LVIII (3), LIX (4) and LX (5) besides the known gypenosides V (11), IX (12), XLIII (13), XLV (14) and ginsenoside-Rb
3 (15) were isolated from the aerial parts of
Gynostemma pentaphyllum MAKINO collected in Miyagi Pref. On the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence, they were characterized as follows: 1, 2α, 3β, 12β, 20 (
S)-tetrahydroxydammar-24-ene 3-
O-β-sophoroside-20-
O-β-primeveroside: 2, 2α, 3β, 12β, 20 (
S)-tetrahydroxydammar-24-ene 3-
O-β-D-glucopylanoside-20-
O-β-primeveroside: 3, 3β, 12β, 20 (
S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene 3-
O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside]-20-
O-β-primeveroside; 4, 2α, 3β, 12β, 20 (
S), 26-pentahydroxydammar-24-ene 20-
O-β-primeveroside: 5, 2α, 3β, 12β, 20 (
S), 25-pentahydroxydammar-23-ene 20-
O-β-primeveroside.
