Phenolic glycosides from Exostema mexicanum leaves.
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Exostema mexicanum led to the isolation of two novel acylated flavonol glycosides 6, 7 and three glycosides 1-4 structurally belonging to the group of 4-phenylcoumarins. One of them, 5-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-4'-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-phenylcoumarin (2), turned out to be new. Furthermore, the 4-phenylcoumarin aglycone 3'-hydroxy-4',5,7-trimethoxy-4-phenylcoumarin (5) was obtained. The in vitro cytotoxicity of 3-5 against the cell line ECV-304 was evaluated; the aglycone 5 was highly cytotoxic, whereas the glycosidic compounds 3 and 4 were inactive.
