title: Structural studies of zoospore attractants from Trachelospermum jasminoides var. pubescens: taxifolin 3-O-glycosides.
abstract: (2S, 3S)-Taxifolin 3-O-arabinoside, a new dihydroflavonol glycoside, together with the known substances, (2R 3R)-taxifolin 3-O-arabinoside, astragalin, isoquercitrin, and cosmosiin, were isolated from the leaves of Trachelospermum jasminoides var. pubescens. Structural elucidation was carried out by spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations of C-2 and C-3 in taxifolin 3-O-arabinosides were determined on the basis of circular dichroism. Unlike the dihydroflavonol glycosides, (2R 3R)-taxifolin 3-O-glucoside and (2R, 3R-taxifolin 3-O-arabinoside, the novel (2S, 3S)-taxifolin 3-O-arabinoside is not effective as a zoospore attractant of the plant pathogenic fungus Aphanomyces cochlioides.
