Structure of a New Saponin from Saponaria officinalis growing in Uzbekistan

The new natural saponin 3β,16α-dihydroxy-23-oxo-oleanan-28,13β-olide (1) was isolated from the aerial part ofSaponaria officinalis. Its structure was established by analyzing 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and high-resolution mass-spectrometric data. The antimicrobial activity of the new saponin against the microorganismsPseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis, andCandida albicans was studied.
