Abstract

Two new flavonol glycosides were isolated from the leaves of Siparuna gigantotepala. Their structures were determined to be kaempferol 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-arabinofuranoside (1) and kaempferol 3,7-di-O-methyl-4′-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-glucopyranoside (2). In addition, three known flavonol glycosides, rutin (3), kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (4), and kaempferol 3,7-di-O-methyl-4′-O-rutinoside (5), and three flavonol aglycones, quercetin (6), kaempferol 3,7-dimethyl ether (7), and kaempferol 3,7,4′-trimethyl ether (8), were also isolated and are reported here for the first time in this species. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were established on the basis of their LC-MS and one- and two-dimensional (1D)- and (2D)-NMR spectroscopic analyses, combined with acid methanolysis and silylation of sugar moieties for GC-MS. Evaluation of the antioxidant activity, conducted in the 96-well plate format, showed that the flavonoids isolated possess strong 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and moderate oxygen radical absorption capacity.
