Abstract

Two new phenolic glucosides, a new γ-lactone glucoside, and adenosine were isolated from the sprouts of Crocus sativus L. The new compounds were characterized as 2,4- dihydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone-2β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 2,3,4-trihydroxy-6-methoxyacetopenone-3-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) and 3-(S)-3-β-D-glucopyranosyloxybutanolide (3), respectively. All structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.

Key words:

Crocus sativus L. - Iridaceae - sprout - phenolic glucosides - γ-lactone glucoside
