Glycosidic Acids with Unusual Aglycone Units from Convolvulus arvensis.

Six new glycosidic acids, arvensic acids E-J (1-6), were obtained from a glycosidic acid fraction afforded by alkaline hydrolysis of the crude resin glycosides from Convolvulus arvensis whole plants. Their structures were established from the spectroscopic data obtained and by chemical evidence. They were defined as heptasaccharides or hexasaccharides, comprising d-fucose, d-glucose, and l-rhamnose units. Compounds 1, 3, and 5 were assigned the 11 S-hydroxyheptadecanoic acid as the aglycone, while compounds 2, 4, and 6 were found to possess 11 S-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid as the aglycone. Compounds 1, 3, and 5 are the first representatives of resin glycosides with 11 S-hydroxyheptadecanoic acid as the aglycone.
