A new cis -p -coumaroyl flavonol glycoside from the inner barks of Sophora japonica L.Abstract : Tree barks could be a rich source of novel bioactive compounds, which are not well explored. In this work, the chemical constituent investigation of extractives from the inner barks of Sophora japonica L. (Leguminosae) led to the isolation of a new cis -p -coumaroyl flavonol glycoside, which was elucidated as kaempferol 3-O -(4 ″ -cisp -coumaroyl)-α -rhamnopyranoside ( IV ). The structure of the new compound was established mainly based on extensive spectroscopic techniques. In addition, among the four known phenolics purified in this study, including three flavonol glycosides [rutin ( I ), kaempferol-3-O -(6 ″ -galloyl)-β -glucopyranoside ( II ), and quercitrin ( V )], as well as a phenolic acid [ trans -ferulic acid ( III )], compounds II and III have never been reported in S. japonica previously.
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.
