A new lignan glycoside, aviculin [1], was isolated from the whole plant of Polygonum avtculare along with the known compounds juglanin [2], avicularin [3], astragalin [4], and betmidin [5]. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.Polygonum avtculare L. (Polygonaceae) is a medicinal plant frequently employed in Korean traditional medicine. The whole plant has been used as an antipyretic, antiparasitic, and diuretic agent (1,2). This paper deals with the structural elucidation of a new lignan glycoside, aviculin [1], and the isolation from this plant of four flavonoid glycosides (3-5), juglanin [2], avicularin [3], astragalin [4], and betmidin [5]. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe EtOAc-soluble fraction of the aqueous MeOH extract afforded 1, C26H34O10, amorphous powder, mp 155-157°, [a]25D +20.27°( ¿=0.074, MeOH). On acetylation with Ac20 and pyridine, compound 1 afforded a hexaacetate [la], as an oily compound (6).Acidic hydrolysis of compound 1 yielded L-rhamnose and an aglycone having identical specific rotation and eims data with those of (+)-isolariciresinol [lb] (7). The cd of the aglycone was a mirror image to that of ( -)-isolariciresinol (8), with known absolute configuration (9), and also in agreement with published cd data of (+)isolariciresinol dimethyl ether (10). The eims spectrum of compound 1 showed a molecular ion peak at miz 506, besides significant fragment peaks at mlz 359 [M-rhamnose]+, 341 [M-rhamnose-H20]+, 311 [M-rhamnose-H20-OCHJ+,
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.
