Abstract
Three new triterpene glycosides, named momordicosides C, D and E, were isolated from the seeds of Momordica charantia L. (Cucurbitaceae). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence as 3-O-β-gentiobiosides of cucurbit-5-ene-3β, 23,24,25-tetraol, cucurbita-5,24-diene-3β, 22,23-triol and 3β-hydroxy-23,24,25,26,27-pentanor-20 (ε)-cucurbit-5-en-22-al, respectively.
