We have reported cytotoxicities based on several types of sugar linkage in saponins in addition to antitumor and antiinflammatory effects. In order to find further structure-activity relationship on the cytotoxicity of saponins. we intended to isolate oleanane disaccharides Irom the saponin-containing extract of Akebia Quinata (Lardizabalaceae).

The Plants medicinal resources of Mt. Mohu were investigated 12 times from July 1, 1987 to July 28, 1988. In order to analyze the vegetation of Mt. Mohu area,herb plants structure and distribution. Herb plants of Mohu Mt. consisted of 58families, 230 species in all. The resources of important herb drugs were plant-aginaceae, Labiatae, Amarantaceae, Campanulaceae, Asclepiaclaceae, Leguminosae,Gentianaceae, Liliaceae, lilicaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Compositae, Caprifoliaceae,Ranuncvlaceae, Lauraceae, Lardizabalaceae, Araliaceae, Solanaceae, Cornaceae,Fagaceae and Rosaceae. The herb drugs were comparatively more than in othermountains in our country.

To provide the scientific corroboration of the traditional uses of Akebia quinata (Thunb.) Decne., a detailed analytical examination of A. quinata stems was carried out using a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method coupled to photodiode array detector (PDA) for the simultaneous determination of four phenolic substances; cuneataside D (1), 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), 3-caffeoylquinic acid (3) and calceolarioside B (4). Particular attention was focused on the main compound, 3-caffeoylquinic acid (3), which has a range of biological functions. In addition, 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2) was considered as a discernible marker of A. quinata from its easy confuse plants. The contents of compounds 2 and 3 ranged from 0.72 to 2.68 mg/g and from 1.66 to 5.64 mg/g, respectively. The validation data indicated that this HPLC/PDA assay was used successfully to quantify the four phenolic compounds in A. quinata from different locations using relatively simple conditions and procedures. The pattern-recognition analysis data from 53 samples classified them into two groups, allowing discrimination between A. quinata and comparable herbs. The results suggest that the established HPLC/PDA method is suitable for quantitation and pattern-recognition analyses for a quality evaluation of this medicinal herb.
