Abstract

Four new dammarane-type saponins (1-4), named yesanchinosides G-J, together with nine ginsenosides (5-13) were isolated from Ye-Sanchi, the underground part of Panax japonicus collected in the south of Yunnan Province, China. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. Ginsenosides Rb(1) and Rb(3) and notoginsenosides R(4) (6) and Fa (7) showed significant neurite outgrowth enhancing activities in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells.
