Three new triterpenoidal monodesmosides (1−3) and three new triterpenoidal bisdesmosides (4−6),together with two known saponins (7 and 8), were isolated from the fresh fruits of Ternstroemia japonica.The structures of 1−6 (ternstroemiasides A−F) were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis andchemical degradation.
