Two triterpene saponins were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the roots of Chiococca alba (L.) Hitch (Rubiaceae). Their structures were determined by ¹H and 13C 1D and 2D NMR and high resolution electrospray mass spectrometry as 3-O-β-D-glucopyranurosyl-3β-hydroxyolean-12,15-dien-28-oic acid 28-O-α-D-apiofuranosyl (1→3)-[α-D-apiofuranosyl (1→4)]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester (1) and 3-O-β-D-glucopyranurosyl-3β-hydroxyolean-12,15-dien-28-oic acid 28-O-α-D-apiofuranosyl (1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester (2).
