Two new triterpenoid saponins, 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alph a-L-arabinopyranosyl]-hederagenin (1) and 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alph a-L-arabinopyranosyl]-hederagenin 28-O-[beta-L-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-L-glucopyranosyl] ester (2), together with five known saponins, were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the tubers of Bongardia chrysogonum. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined on the basis of spectroscopic studies.
