New polyhydroxylated steroidal saponins (1, 2) were isolated from the tubers of Brodiaea californica. The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. The bisdesmosidic saponin (2) is unique in structure, and is the first representative of a steroidal saponin bearing 6-deoxy-D-gulopyranose among both the steroidal and triterpene saponins reported up to the present.
