Abstract:
Nine flavonoid glycosides were isolated from water extract of the fruits of
Lycium ruthenicum Murr. by using various chromatographic methods, including D-101 macroporous adsorption resin, silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified as laricetrin-3-

D-glucopyranoside-7-
O-4′′′′-

L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1′′′′→6′′′)-

etc.). Compounds
1 and
2 were new flavonoid glycosides, named lyciuflavonoid A and lyciuflavonoid B. Compounds
6 and
9 were isolated from
L. ruthenicum for the first time. Compound
9 has an inhibitory effect on
α-glucosidase with an IC
50 of (76.14 ± 4.64) μmol·L
