The chemical structures of senegin-III (Ia), C75, H113O35, [α]20D-6.6°(MeOH) and senegin-IV (Ib), C81H122O39, [α]20D-20.2°(MeOH), which were isolated from Senegae Radix (root of Polygata senega LINN var. latifolia TORRY et GRAY), were established to be presenegenin-(3)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(28)-{2-[β-D-galactopyranosyl (1gal→4xyl)-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1xyl→4rham)α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-3-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-4-(4'-methoxycinnamoyl)-β-D-fucopyranoside} and presenegenin-(3)-[β-D-glucopyranosy-1]-(28)-{2-[4-[β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1gal→4xyl)-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-3-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-3-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-4-(4'-methoxycinnamoyl)-β-D-fucopyranoside}, on the basis of physical data of both compounds and several of their derivatives and degradation products.
