From the root barks of a Central African tree Millettia dubia De Wild. (Fabaceae), ten previously undescribed oleanane-type glycosides were isolated by various chromatographic protocols. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, mainly 2D NMR experiments and mass spectrometry, as mono- and bidesmosidic glycosides of mesembryanthemoidigenic acid, hederagenin and oleanolic acid.

After the extraction from the barks, the isolation and purification of these compounds were achieved using various solid/liquid chromatographic methods. Their structures were established mainly by 1D and 2D NMR (COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, HMBC) and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), as 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid, 3-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid, 3-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid, 3-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid, 3-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-[α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid, 3-O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyloleanolic acid, 3-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-[α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyloleanolic acid.

Both root barks from the two Sapindaceae species were processed by ethanol extraction followed by the isolation of their primary constituents by liquid chromatography. This process yielded four previously undescribed terpenoid glycosides together with eight known analogues.
