Molecules. 2009 Jun 10;14(6):2087-94. doi: 10.3390/molecules14062087.

Abstract

Four new dammarane-type triterpene saponins named floranotoginsenosides A (1), B (2), C (3) and D (4), together with five known triterpene saponins, were isolated from the flowers of Panax notoginseng. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence.
