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.
