The New Flavonoids from Polygonum sphaerostachyum (Polygonaceae)

Two novel flavone glycosides, 3′-hydroxy-5,4′-dimethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyflavone-3-O-［β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→6)］-β-D-glucopyranoside(1)and5,4′-dimethoxy-3′-isopropenylacetyl-6,7-methylenedioxyflavone-3-O-［β-D-xylopyranoxyl(1→6)］-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from Polygonum sphaerostachyum Meisn., and their structures were deduced by spectral and chemical methods. This is the first report on the isolation of flavone glycosides from P. sphaerostachyum.
