Coumarin glucosides from Cruciata taurica

Phytochemistry. 2002 Feb;59(4):447-50. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00471-x.

Abstract

Two new coumarin glycosides (1 and 2) along with two known coumarin glucosides, daphnin (3) and daphnetin glucoside (4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Cruciata taurica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectral methods and chemical means as 7-O-(6' -acetoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-8-hydroxycoumarin (1) and 7-O-[6 '-O-(3'',4''-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-8-hydroxycoumarin (2). The phylogenetic significance of coumarins in C. taurica was discussed.
