A new 9,19-cyclolanostane-type triterpene xyloside (1), from the rhizomes of Cimicifuga racemosa, has been isolated together with four known saponins; cimiaceroside A, 25-O-methylcimigenol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside, 27-deoxyactein and 23-O-acetylshengmanol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside. The structure of the new compound was established as 16 beta,23:22 beta,25-diepoxy-12-acetoxy-3 beta,23,24 beta-trihydroxy-9,19-cyclolanost-7-ene-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside. For the structure elucidation, 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments and high resolution electrospray ionization Fourier transformation mass spectrometry (HRESIFTMS) were used.
