Contribution à la phytochimie du genre <i>Gentiana</i> I. Etude des composés flavoniques et xanthoniques dans les feuilles de <i>Gentiana lutea</i> L. (1^re communication)

Abstract

Abstract Six polyphenolheterosides have been isolated from the leaves of G. lutea L. by means of thin layer and column chromatography on polyamide. The xanthones mangiferin (III) and gentioside (IV), the flavones isoorientin (V) isovitexin (VI) and two new heterosides (E and F) have been isolated. E gave isoorientin and glucose on hydrolysis and F isovitexin, glucose and gentiobiose. Structure identification has been achieved by UV., IR. and NMR. spectroscopy as well as by synthesis of the corresponding aglycones.
