New Acetylenic Glucosides from Carthamus tinctorius

Abstract

Two new acetylenic glucosides, 4',6'-acetonide-8Z-decaene-4,6-diyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside named carthamoside A(1) (1) and 4,6-decadiyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside named carthamoside A(2) (2), along with one known acetylenic glucoside, 8Z-decaene-4,6-diyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), have been isolated from the air-dried flower of Carthamus tinctorius, these structures have been identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
