Résumé

As part of our search of new bioactive saponins from Cameroonian medicinal plants, two new oleanane-type saponins, named gummiferaosides D-E (1-2), along with one known saponin, julibroside J8 (3), were isolated from the roots of Albizia gummifera. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR ((1) H-, (13) C-NMR, DEPT, COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY and HMBC) and HRESIMS studies, and by chemical evidence. The apoptotic effect of saponins 1-3 was evaluated on the A431 human epidermoid cancer cell. Flow cytometric analyses showed that saponins 1-3 induced apoptosis of human epidermoid cancer cell (A431) in a dose-dependent manner. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
