Phenolic acid glucosides from the seeds of Entada phaseoloides Merill

Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the defatted seeds of Entada phaseoloides Merill. (Mimosaceae) led to the isolation of three new phenolic acid glucosides, which were characterized as 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoyl-β-l-glucopyranoside (p-cresotyl glucoside, 1), 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoyl-β-l-glucopyranosyl (2 → 1)-β-l-glucopyranosyl (2 → 1)-β-l-glucopyranoside (p-cresotyl triglucoside, 2), and 2-hydroxybenzoyl-β-l-glucopyranosyl (2 → 1)-β-l-glucopyranosyl (2 → 1)-β-l-glucopyranosyl (2 → 1)-β-l-glucopyranoside (salicylic acid tetraglucoside, 5), along with sucrose and triglucoside. The structures of these phytoconstituents have been established on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.
