Abstract:
From the stem bark of Newbouldia laevis three phenylethanoid glycosides, designated as newbouldioside A-C, were isolated together with a sodium salt of analogue B and the known compounds, verbascoside, 5-hydroxydehydro-iso-alpha-lapachone, 3,8-dihydroxydehydro-iso-alpha-lapachone, apigenin and luteolin. The structures of the phenylethanoid glycosides were elucidated by spectroscopic methods as beta-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl 5-O-syringoyl-beta-D-apiofuranosyloxy-(1-->2)-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside, ss-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl 5-O-syringoyl-beta-D-apiofuranosyloxy-(1-->2)-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-6-O-E-feruloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and beta-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl 3-O-E-feruloyl-beta-D-apiofuranosyloxy-(1-->2)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-6-O-E-sinapoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, respectively.
