Abstract:
The roots of Centaurea bracteata Scop. (Asteraceae) have been studied for the first time. Twenty-three compounds were isolated and identified, namely a sterol glucoside, two quinic acid derivatives, one sugar, and 19 flavonoids (five sulphates), one of which, centaradixin, resulted in a new natural product. Structural elucidation was performed mainly by means of FABMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. NMR data of some sulphate flavonoids are reported for the first time.
