T. Marukami et al., Medicinal flowers. IV. Marigold. (2): Structures of new ionone and sesquiterpene glycosides from Egyptian Calendula officinalis, CHEM PHARM, 49(8), 2001, pp. 974-978
Following the characterization of hypoglycemic, gastric emptying inhibitory
, and gastroprotective principles and the structure elucidation of calendas
aponins A, B, C, and D, two new ionone glucosides (officinosides A and B),
and two sesquiterpene oligoglycosides (officinosides C and D), were isolate
d from the flowers of Egyptian Calendula officinalis. The structures of the
officinosides were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical
evidence.
