Abstract:
We investigated the chemical constituents of the leaves of
Psidum littorale, which include 16 flavonoids, including seven flavonols, six flavonoid glycosides and three flavonones. The compounds were isolated by silica gel column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and by comparison with published data. Seven flavonols were kaempferol (
1), isorhamnetin (
2), myricetin-3,7,3'-trimethyl ether (
3), laricitrin (
4), quercetin (
5), myricetin (
6) and quercein-3,4'-dimethyl ether (
7), six flavonoid glycosides were guaijaverin (
8), hyperoside (
9), 5,4'-dyhydroxy-3,7,5'-methoxyflavone-3'-
O-
β-
D-glucoside (
10), laricitrin-3-
O-xyloside (
11), myricetin-3-
O-
α-L-rhamnopyranoside (
12) and myricetin-3-
O-
β-
D-xyloside (
13). Three flavonones were 4'-
O-methyldihydroquercetin (
14), dihydroapigenin (
15) and ampelopsin 4'-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside (
16). Compound
10 is a new chemical, compounds
2-
4,
7,
10-
16 were first isolated from this plant.
1H NMR and
13C NMR data of compound
11 were not reported in literature.
