Two new glucose-containing 1H-indole-3-acetonitrile compounds, capparilosid
es A and B, were isolated from mature fruits of Capparis spinosa. On the ba
sis of spectral and chemical evidence, they were shown to be 1H-indole-3-ac
etonitrile 4-O-beta-glucopyranoside and 1H-indole-3-acetonitrile 4-O-beta-(
6'-O-beta-glucopyranosyl)-glucopyranoside respectively. (C) 1999 Elsevier S
