A new oleanane-type triterpene saponin, beta-D-glucopyranosyl 2 alpha,3 beta,6 beta-trihydroxy-23-galloylolean-12-en-28-oate (1), together with four known oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpenoids, combregenin (2), arjungenin (3), arjunglucoside 1 (4). and combreglucoside (5) were isolated from the stem bark of Combretum molle. Their structures were established mainly on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral data. Compounds 1-3 exhibited more significant activity against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat compared to compounds 4 and 5. (C) 2008 Phytochemical Society of Europe Published by Elsevier B.V.
