Objective:
To study the chemical constituents in the seed of Allium tuberosum.
Method:
Chromatography and spectral analysis were used to isolate the constituents and elucidate their structures.
Result:
Five compounds were isolated from the alcohol extracts of the seeds and identified as nicotianoside C, (22S)-cholest-5-ene-1 beta, 3 beta, 16 beta, 22-tetrol-1-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-16-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, daucosterol, adenosine and thymidine.
Conclusion:
All the compounds were isolated from the seed of this plant for the first time.
