Chromone and flavonol glycosides from Delphinium hybridum cv. “Belladonna Casablanca”

One new chromone and six known flavonol glycosides were isolated from the stems and leaves of Delphinium hybridum cv. “Belladonna Casablanca” (Ranunculaceae). The new chromone glycoside was elucidated as 2-methyl-chromone-5,7-diol 7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1). The six known flavonol glycosides were designated as compounds 2–5, being kaempferol-type glycosides, and compounds 6 and 7, being quercetin-type glycosides. The structures of these glycosides were determined by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence.

Three new cycloartane glycosides from Thalictrum thunbergii D.C.

Abstract Three new cycloartane glycosides possessing a five-membered ring, which is constructed by a C–C bond, at the side chain have been isolated from the aerial parts of Thalictrum thunbergii D.C. Their structures were determined by the use of 2D NMR techniques and chemical evidence.

Cycloartane-type glycosides from Aquilegia flabellata.

Two new cycloartane-type glycosides, named aquilegiosides A and B, were isolated from the dried aerial parts of Aquilegia flabellata Sieb.et Zucc.var flabellata (Ranunculaceae). Their chemical structures have been characterized as 22S-3beta,16alpha,29-trihydroxy-cycloart-24-en-26,22-olid e 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--->2)-alpha- L-arabinopyranoside and 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, by chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
