Two new diastereoisomeric saponins named as Julibroside J14 and Julibroside J15 were isolated from the dried stem barks of Albizia julibrissin. On the basis of chemical and spectral methods, their structures were elucidated as 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-arabinonosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-21-O-{(6S)-2-trans-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-[4-O-((6R)-2-trans-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-2,7-octadienoyl)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl]-2,7-octadienoyl} acacic acid 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1→4)]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1) and 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-21-O-{(6S)-2-trans-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-[4-O-((6S)-2-trans-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-2,7-octadienoyl)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl]-2,7-octadienoyl} acacic acid 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1→4)]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (2), respectively.
