From the methanol extract of the leaves of Miq. (Araliaceae), ten triterpenoids including five ursane-type triterpenoids, ursolic acid (), 3---l-arabinopyranosyl ursolic acid (), ursolic acid 28---D-glucopyranosyl ester (), 3--[-D-glucopyranosyl (l→3)]--L-arabinopyranosyl ursolic acid (), and matesaponin 1 (), and five oleanane-type triterpenoids, elatoside E (), elatoside F (), 3--[-D-glucopyranosyl (l→3)]-L-arabinopyranosyl oleanolic acid (), 3---L-arabinopyranosyl oleanolic acid () and oleanolic acid 28---D-glucopyranosyl ester () were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on 1D-, 2D-NMR and ESI-MS spectra as well as by comparison with those reported in the literature.

Their structures were elucidated by 1 D and 2 D NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses in comparison with the data reported in the literature. The stereochemistry of the C-2' position of was identified based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation.

The structure elucidation was confirmed by 1 D and 2 D NMR, ECD as well as HR-QTOF-MS experiments. The megastigmane derivatives - exhibited inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.
