Two saponins were isolated from the leaves of Lippia alba. Their structures were established using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These new compounds were named as Lippia saponin 1 (3-O-(â-D-glucopyranosyl) 28-O-á-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1–3)-â-D-xylopyranosyl(1–4)-á-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1–2)-á-L-arabinopyranoside) and Lippia saponin 2 (3-O-(â-D-glucopyranosyl) 28-O-á-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1–3)-â-D-xylopyranosyl(1–4)-á-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1–3)-á-L-arabinopyranoside).
