“…9) However, the isolation studies on saponin constituents from the leaves of C. sinensis were reported unsatisfactorily. [10][11][12][13][14][15] As a continuing study on the saponin constituents from C. sinensis, we have isolated new acylated triterpene oligoglycosides named foliatheasaponins I (1), II (2), III (3), IV (4), and V (5) from the methanolic extract of Tencha together with two saponins, theasaponin B 1 10,16) (6) and floratheasaponin A 9) (7), seven flavonoids, kaempferol 3-O-b-D-galactopyranoside 9,17) (8), isovitexin 18) (9), vitexin 19) (10), vicetin-2 19,20) (11), isoschaftoside 20) (12) (14), five catechins, (Ϫ)-epicatechin 9,23,24) (15), (Ϫ)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate 9,23,24) (16), (Ϫ)-epigallocatechin 23,24) (17), (ϩ)-gallocatechin 25) (18), and (Ϫ)-epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate 9,23,24) (19), and benzyl b-D-glucopyranoside 26) (20), benzylalcohol b-D-xylopyranosyl(1→6)-b-Dglucopyranoside 27) (21), icariside 28) (22), phenetylalcohol b-D-xylopyranosyl(1→6)-b -D-glucopyranoside 27) (23), methylgallate, 29) caffeine, …”
