Key words: Stachys aegyptiaca, Lamiaceae, new flavone glucoside.Stachys aegyptiaca is a perenninal plant growing wild in the Sinai desert [1] and proved to be a rich source for flavonoids. We have previously reported the isolation and structure elucidation of diapigenin 7-O-(6″-trans-6″-cis-p,p′dihydroxy-µ-truxinyl)glucoside [stachysetin] [2] and hypoluetin 7-[6″-acetylallosyl-(1→2)-3″-acetyl-glucoside, along with 24 known flavonoid aglycones and glycosides [3]. Also, the acetylated isoscutellarein glucoside was reported [4]. In continuation of our study on the phenolic constituents of S. aegyptiaca, the present communication describes the further isolation and structure elucidation of a new flavone glycoside, the structure of which was identified as luteolin 3′,4′-dimethylether-7-Oglucoside from the aerial parts of the same plant.The methanol extract of the aerial parts of S. ageyptiaca was fractionated on a polyamide column with H 2 O as eluent with increasing amounts of MeOH. Isolation and purification were achieved by combination of PPC, TLC on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20.Flavonoid 1 was isolated as a yellowish white amorphous powder. Acid hydrolysis of 1 afforded glucose, which was identified by co-chromatography with authentic samples and the aglycone 1a. The UV spectral data of 1a with diagnostic shift reagents [5] indicated a flavone, absence of a free ortho-dihydroxyl pattern, occupation at positions-3′ and -4′, and a free hydroxyl group at position-7. The UV spectral data of 1 indicated a flavone with occupation at positions-7,3′ and -4′ [5].The EI-MS spectrum of permethylated [6] 1 gave a molecular ion peak at m/z 546 (66%) in accordance with fully methylated luteolin glucoside. A fragment at m/z 328 was due to the aglycone luteolin bearing three methoxyl groups. The identity of the glucose moiety was confirmed by the fragment at m/z 218 due to the ion [glucose-H] + and the fragment at m/z 187 for the ion [glucose-MeOH] + .The 1 H NMR spectrum of 1 showed that it is a monoglucoside of luteolin dimethylether on the basis of the signal H-1 glucose (δ 5.1), and the coupling constant (J = 7.5 Hz) is characterized for a β-linked glucose. Furthermore, the chemical shift (δ 5.1) confirmed that the glucose is directly attached to the aglycone [7]. The spectrum also showed signals at δ 7.4 and δ 6.9 (m; d, J = 8.0 Hz) assigned for H-2′,6′ and H-5′, confirming the disubstituted pattern at ring-B. Two doublets (J = 2.5 Hz) at
