Summary
New flavonoid glycosides have been obtained from the roots ofRhodiola algida: rhodalgin (I), composition C20H18O11, mp 239–240°C; acetylrhodalgin (II) C22H20O12, mp 223–224°C; diacetylrhodalgin (III), C24H22O13, mp 208–209°C; and triacetylrhodalgin (IV), C26H24O14, mp 230–231°C.
It has been established that they have the following structures: (I), 3,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavone 8-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside; (II), 3,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavone 8-O-(3″-O-acetyl-α-L-arabinopyranoside; (III), 3,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavone 8-O-(2″,3″-di-O-acetyl)-β-D-xylopyranoside; and (IV), 3,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavone 8-O-(2″,3″4″-tri-O-acetyl)-β-D-xylopyranoside. The α-L-arabinopyranose and β-D-xylopyranose are present in these compounds in the C1 conformations.
In the performance of this investigation, the authors consulted O. S. Chizhov, and M. B. Zoltarev (N. D. Zelinskii Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR) and V. I. Sheichenko (All-Union Institute of Medicinal plants).
