Abstract
Three glycosides were isolated from Bougainvillea glabra and their structures were determined by extensive use of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C). Compound 1 was identical to momordin IIc (quinoside D) [β-D-glucopyranosyl 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid)] oleanolate], compound 2 was quercetin 3-O-α-L-(rhamnopyranosyl)(1 → 6)-[α-L-rhamnopy-ranosyl(1 → 2)]-β-D-galactopyranoside and compound 3 was its derivative quercetin 3-O-α-L-(4-caffeoylrhamnopyranosyl)(1 → 6)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 2)]-β-D-galactopyranoside, a new natural product.
