Abstract: | Five isoflavone glycosides, named derriscandenosides A–E (1–5), were isolated from the stems of Derris scandens, together with ten known compounds comprising one isoflavone, two benzoic acid derivatives, three glucosyl isoflavones and four rhamnosyl-(1→6)-glucosyl isoflavones. The structures of the glycosides were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data, especially of the acetate derivatives. Three known rhamnosyl-(1→6)-glucosyl isoflavones isolated from a crude fraction were retested for hypotensive activity with varying results. |
