Keywords: Peganum nigellastrum, diosmetin 7-O-E-D-glucopyranosyl(1o2)-E-D-glucopyranosyl(1o2)-[D-Lrhamnopyranosyl(1o6)]-E-D-glucopyranoside, flavone glycoside. Peganum nigellastrum Bge. (Zygophyllaceae) is distributed over Asia and commonly found in the northwest region of China. The plant has been used as a Chinese traditional medicine for rheumatism, abscess, inflammation, and so on [1].Various compounds have been reported in this plant, including alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, triterpenes, and so on [2-6]. We have studied the chemical constituents of the ethanol extract of the aerial part and obtained a novel flavone glycoside with a tetrasaccharide. Its structure was determined as diosmetin 7The ethanol extract of the aerial part of P. nigellastrum was fractionated on silica gel with petroleum, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Isolation and purification were achieved using a combination of TLC, MCI, and Sephadex LH-20.Compound 1 was a pale yellow powder. The 13 C NMR showed the characteristic signals of flavonoid at G 181.9 (C=O), 164.1 (C-2), and 103.8 (C-3). The signals of H at G 6.50 (1H, d, J = 2.05 Hz, H-6) and 6.81 (1H, d, J = 2.05 Hz, H-8) were meta-coupled with each other, and the signals of C-6 (G 99.5) and C-8 (G 94.8) moved to higher field, confirming that the ring A was substituted by O at C-5 and C-7.
(4), were isolated for the first time from the aerial parts of Siegesbeckia pubescens. The structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses including 1D-and 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY), and HR-ESI-MS, and by comparison with published data.
Two new alkaloids, pegamine b-d-glucopyranoside (1) and 2-deoxypeganylacetic acid (2), together with the novel 3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (3), were isolated from the aerial part of Peganum nigellastrum. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including 1D-and 2D-NMR, and ESI-MS/MS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
