Following the investigation of assamsaponins A, B, C, D, and E, four new saponins termed assamsaponins F, G, H, and I were isolated from the seeds of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis L. var. assamica PIERRE), while assamsaponin J was isolated from its leaves. The structures of assamsaponins F-J were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence and found to be 16,22-O-diacetyl-21-O-angelogyltheasapogenol E 3-O-[beta -D-galactopyranosyl(1 --> 2)][beta -D-glucopyranosyl(1 --> 2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl(1 --> 3)]-beta -D-glucopyranosiduronic acid, 21-O-angeloyl-22-O-acetyltheasapogenol E 3-O-[beta -D-galactopyranosyl(1 --> 2)][beta -D-glucopyranosyl(1 --> 2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl(1 --> 3)]-beta -D-glucopyranosiduronic acid, 21-O-angeloyl-28-O-acetyltheasapogenol E 3-O-[beta -D-galactopyranosyl(1 --> 2)][beta -D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl(1 --> 3)]-beta -D-gucopyranosiduronic acid, 21-O-tigloyl-28-O-acetyltheasapogenol E 3-O-[beta -D-galactopyranosyl(1 --> 2)][beta -D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl(1-->3)]-beta -D-glucoypyranosiduronic acid, and 16,21-O-diacetyl-22-O-cinnamoyltheasapogenol B 3-O-[beta -D-galactopyranosyl(1-->2)][beta -D-rhamnopyranosyl(1 --> 2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl(1 --> 3)]-beta -D-glucopyranosiduronic acid, respectively.The saponin mixture from the seeds of the tea plant was found to exhibit an inhibitory effect on gastric emptying and an accelerating effect on gastrointestinal transit in mice. Theasaponin E-1, the principle saponin of the tea plant, showed potent activity, while theasaponin E-2 showed none, so that the position of the acyl groups in the sapogenin moiety is important from a pharmacological point of view.
