Reinioses A-J, Oligosaccharide Multi-Esters from the Roots of Polygala reinii FR. et SAV.

Ten new acylated oligosaccharides, called reinioses A--J, and seven known oligosaccharides were isolated from the roots of Polygala reinii Fr. et Sav. and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical means. These oligosaccharides were found to be di-, tri-, tetra- and pentasaccharides having two or more acyl residues.
