Smilasides M and N, two new phenylpropanoid glycosides from Smilax riparia.

Two new phenylpropanoid glycosides, smilasides M and N, together with the known compound 2',6'-diacetyl-3,6-diferuloylsucrose, were isolated and characterized from the roots and rhizomes of Smilax riparia A. DC. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated as 2',6'-diacetyl-3-Z-feruloyl-6-feruloylsucrose (1) and 2',6'-diacetyl-3-feruloyl-6-Z-feruloylsucrose (2) on the basis of extensive analysis of HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data.
