<正> From rhizomes of Curculigo orchioideg(Xian Mao)six new cyclo-artane glycosides named curculigosaponin A~F were isolated.The newtriterpenoidal sapogenin named curculigenin A,whlch is common to curculigo-saponin A~F,was formulated as 3β,11α,16β-trihydroxycycloartane-24-one byHR-MS and 2D-NMR technical analysis.On the basis of chemical evidence andspectral data,the structures of these saponins were elucidated.
