The chemical study of Momordica charantia fruits led to the isolation of three new cucurbitane triterpene glycosides, momordicosides U, V, and W (1-3). The structures of these compounds were determined to be (19R, 23R)-5 beta, 19-epoxy-19-methoxycucurbita-6,24-diene-3 beta, 23-diol 3-O-beta-D-allopyranoside (1), (23R)-5 beta, 19-epoxycucurbita-6,24-diene-3 beta, 23-diol 3-O-beta-D-allopyranoside (2), and (19R)-5 beta, 19-epoxy-19,25-dihydroxycucurbita-6,23(E)-diene-3 beta-ol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), by chemical and spectroscopic methods.
