A new dihydroflavone and a new polyacetylene glucoside from Bidens parviflora.

A new dihydroflavone, 2(S)-isookanin-4'-methoxy-8-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (1), and a new polyacetylene glucoside, (10S)-tridecane-2E-ene-4,6,8-triyne-1-ol-10-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (2), along with seven known compounds (3-9), were isolated from the herb of Bidens parviflora Willd. The structures of all the extracted compounds were elucidated by HR-ESI-MS, 1 D and 2 D NMR spectra, as well as circular dichroism (CD).

[Chemical Constituents of Paulownia tomentosa Fruits].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the chemical constituents from the fruits of Paulownia tomentosa. METHODS: The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analyses. RESULTS: Seven compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as ursolic acid (1), sesamin(2),2α,3α, 19a-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid(3), luteolin(4), tricin-7-O-ß-D-glucoside(5),3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxy-6-[7-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-2(E)-octenyl] flavanone(6) and stigmasterol(7). CONCLUSION: Compounds 3, 5 and 7 are isolated from Paulownia genus for the first time. Compound 2 is isolated from Paulownia tomentosa for the first time.
