Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.),a spice and medicinal herb of Lamiaceae family with a characteristic aromatic smell,is widely used around the world and accepted as one of the spices with the highest antioxidant activity. The aim of this research was to identify and isolate the unknown saponins from the leaves of R. officinalisL. using HPTLC, HPLC, UV, FTIR and HR-LCMS techniques. The saponins were identified by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and confirmed by HPLC.On the basis of spectral data analysis, the structure of the new saponin isolated by HPTLC from methanol extract of leaves of R. officinalisL. has been formulated by UV, FTIR and HR -LCMS spectral analysis as1alpha-hydroxy-18-(4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentynyloxy)-23,24,25,26,27-pentanorvitamin D3/1alpha-hydr. This is a new saponin isolated from R. officinalis L. and being reported for the first time.
