Apocynin derivatives from Iris tectorum.

Phytochemical investigation of the rhizomes ofIris tectorumresulted in the isolation and characterization of three new apocynin derivatives, apocynin-4-O-β-D-(6′-O-syringyl)glucopyranoside (1), scrophenoside C-7-ethyl ether (2,3), together with a new naturally occurring compound but known by synthesis, apocynin-4-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (4), and five known ones (5–9). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
