Abstract:
AIM To isolate and determine the structure of flavonol glycoside from glandless cotton seeds. METHODS The flavonol glycosides were extracted from glandless cotton seeds with 60% ethanol and purified by polyaromatic resin, polyamide, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 on column chromatography. UV,
1H and
13CNMR ,
13C-
1H COSY, HMBC,
1H-
1H COSY and TOCSY spectra were used for the structural identification. RESULTS Five flavonol glycosides (I-V) were obtained. They were identified as kaempferol 3-
O-β-D-apiosyl(1→2)-
α-L-rhamnosyl(1→6)-
β-D-glucoside (I), quercetin-3-
O-β-D-apiosyl(1→2)-
α-L-rhamnosyl(1→6)-
β-D-glucoside (II), quercetin-3-
O-β-D-apiosyl(1→2)-
α-D-glucoside (III), rutin (IV) and quercetin-3-
O-β-D-glucoside (V). CONCLUSION Compound I is a new natural product. Compounds II and III were isolated from this genus for the first time.
