(Delphinidin 3-gentiobiosyl) (luteorin 7-glucosyl) malonate from the flowers of Eichhornia crassipes

An additional new pigment exhibiting anthocyanin and flavone disubstituted malonate structure, was isolated from the blue-purple flowers of Eichhornia crassipes as a minor anthocyanin. This pigment was identified as (6"'-O-(delphinidin 3-O-(6"-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyr...

Summary:An additional new pigment exhibiting anthocyanin and flavone disubstituted malonate structure, was isolated from the blue-purple flowers of Eichhornia crassipes as a minor anthocyanin. This pigment was identified as (6"'-O-(delphinidin 3-O-(6"-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl))) (6"-O-(luteolin 7-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl))) malonate by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The lambdamax of this pigment is 547 nm in 0.1% HCl-MeOH, where the negative cotton effect is also observed as similar to that of Eichhornia anthocyanin A, (delphinidin 3-gentiobiosyl) (apigenin 7-glucosyl) malonate previously isolated from the same flowers. This result supports that the new pigment also takes a folding conformation between delphinidin (chromophore) and luteorin (co-pignmet).
