“…The crude extract was further fractionated and purified over Diaion HP 20SS, Sephadex LH-20, Chromatorex ODS, MCI-gel CHP-20P and silica gel to give two new compounds 1 and 2, as well as 14 known compounds (3-16). The known ones were identified as lapathoside A (3) (Takasaki et al, 2001), quercetin (4) (Wenkert and Gottlieb, 1977), 3-methylquercetin (5) (Bacon et al, 1978), 3,5-dimethylquercetin (6), rutin (7) (Wenkert and Gottlieb, 1977), emodin-8-O--d-glucopyranoside (8) (Steglich and Losel, 1969), gallic acid (9), 6-O-galloyl-d-glucose (10) (Nonaka and Nishioka, 1983), (+)-catechin (11) (Nonaka et al, 1983a), (−)-epicatechin (12) (Nonaka and Nishioka, 1982), procyanidin B-1 (13) (Nonaka et al, 1981), procyanidin B-2 (14) (Nonaka et al, 1981), 3,3 -di-O-galloyl-procyanidin B-2 (15) (Nonaka et al, 1981) and 3 -O-galloyl-procyanidin B-2 (16) (Nonaka et al, 1983b) by the spectroscopic evidences and comparing with literature data (Fig. 1).…”
