Flavonoid Glucuronides from the Flowers of Arnica montana1

Planta Med. 1988 Jun;54(3):247-50. doi: 10.1055/s-2006-962419.

Abstract

Five flavonoid glucuronides were identified from flowers of ARNICA MONTANA L. The structures were established on the basis of total acid hydrolysis and spectral data (UV, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, mass) as 3- O-beta- D-glucuronides of quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, patuletin, and 6-methoxykaempferol. The last one is a new natural compound. This is the first report on glucuronides in the genus ARNICA. Additionally, tricin and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone were identified. Up to now these two flavonoid aglycones have been rarely found in the family of the Asteraceae.
