Abstract

Seven known quinovic acid glycosides were isolated for the first time from the n-​BuOH fraction of the 70​% ethanol ext. of Zygophyllum aegyptium A. Hosny sp. nov.  These compds. were identified as: quinovic acid 3β-​O-​β-​D-​quinovopyranoside, quinovic acid 3β-​O-​β-​D-​glucopyranoside, 3-​O-​[α-​L-​arabinosyl-​(1→2)​-​β-​D-​quinovopyranosyl]​quinovic acid , 3-​β-​O-​β-​D-​quinovopyranosylquinovic acid-​28-​O-​β-​D-​glucopyranosyl ester, 3-​β-​O-​[β-​D-​2-​O-​sulfonyl quinovopyranosyl]​-​quinovic acid-​28-​O-​β-​D-​glucopyranosyl ester (zygophyloside F)​, 3-​β-​O-​β-​D-​glucopyranosylquinovic acid 28-​O-​β-​D-​glucopyranosyl ester , 3β-​O-​[β-​D-​2-​O-​sulfonyl glucopyranosyl]​-​quinovic acid-​28-​O-​[β-​D-​glucopyranosyl] ester (zygophyloside G)​, in addn. to, β-​sitosterol glucoside.  The structure elucidation of these compds. was detd. by phys., chem. and spectroscopic methods.
