Abstract

A new T.L.C. pure saponin has been isolated from the pods of Albizzia lebbek Benth. from M.P. and named as Lebbekanin C. This on sulphuric acid hydrolysis yields echinocystic acid (3 β, 16 α–dihydroxy–olean–12–ene–28–oic acid) and two sugars, glucose and rhamnose. The molar ratio of the sugars has been determined by G.L.C. as 1:1 and a partial structure has been proposed for lebbekanin C.
