Four O-acylated flavonol glycosides, new in the plant kingdom, were isolated from the needles of Pseudotsuga menziesii. Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR and MS data as: daglesioside I [kaempferol 3-O-[2’’,5’’-O-(4’’’,4IV-dihydroxy)-β- truxinoyl]-α-L-arabinofuranoside] (), daglesioside II [kaempferol 3-O-[2’’,5’’-O-(4’’’- hydroxy)-β-truxinoyl]-α-L-arabinofuranoside] (2), daglesioside III [kaempferol 3-O-[2’’,5’’- di-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl]-α-L-arabinofuranoside] (3), and daglesioside IV [kaempferol 3-O-[3’’,6’’-di-O-(E)-cinnamoyl]-β-D-glucopyranoside] (4). In addition, the known fl avonoids (E)-tiliroside, (E)-ditiliroside, astragalin (kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside), isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin were identifi ed. The cytotoxic activity of compounds 1 and 3 was evaluated towards the HL-60, HeLa, and MDA-MB468 cell lines.
