One rare new 2,28-bidesmosidic lupane-type saponin, named heptaellipside A (1), along with four other lupane-type analogs (2-5) were purified by combining differently chromatographic methods. All of the separated compounds (1-5) were communicated for the first time from H. ellipticum. The structures of them were definitely illustrated following extensive and comprehensive UV/VIS, FTIR, HRMS/ESI, and NMR techniques. Further, all isolated compounds were evaluated for their α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition. As the results, compound 3 respectively exhibited stronger in both inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase (IC50 values of 15.53 and 26.93 μM), than the acarbose standard (IC50 values of 214.50 and 143.48 μM).
