extracted with Et2O ꢀ1 l  4), EtOAc ꢀ1 l  6 and n-
BuOH saturated with H2O ꢀ1 l  6). The EtOAc
extract (16.5 g) was subjected to chromatography over
Toyopearl HW-40 (coarse) (2.2 cm i.d. Â 66 cm) with
MeOH±H2O (4:6 4 5:5 4 6:4 4 7:3) 4 Me2CO±H2O
(7:3) in a stepwise gradient mode. Fractions showing
similar HPLC patterns were combined and further
puri®ed by a combination of CC over Toyopearl HW-
40 (®ne), MCI-gel CHP-20P and/or YMC GEL ODS-
AQ 120-S50 with aq. MeOH to aord (+)-catechin

(308 mg), N 1-, N 5-, N 10-tri-p-(E )-coumaroylspermi-
dine (59 mg), iri¯ophenone 2-O-b-glucopyranoside (1)
(6 mg), isorhamnetin 3-O-b-glucopyranoside (5) (36

noside (7) (10 mg), limocitrin 3-O-rutinoside (8) (22
mg) and spinacetin 3-O-b-glucopyranoside (11) (12
mg).
The n-BuOH extract (56.3 g) was subjected to col-
umn chromatography over Diaion HP-20 (6.0 cm i.d.
 40 cm) and developed with H2O 4 MeOH±H2O (1:9
4 2:8 4 3:7 4 4:6 4 6:4) 4 MeOH in a stepwise gra-
dient mode. The eluate with MeOH±H2O (2:8) was
further subjected to chromatography over MCI-gel
CHP-20P to give picein (145 mg). The eluate with
MeOH±H2O (3:7) was similarly subjected to repeated
column chromatographies to give ( )-epicatechin (66
mg), procyanidins B-1 (40 mg), B-2 (94 mg), C-1 (29
mg), isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside-7-O-b-glucopyrano-
side (10) (23 mg), (+)-taxifolin 7-O-b-glucopyranoside
(8 mg), isorhamnetin 3-O-2G-rhamnopyranosylrutino-
side-7-O-a-rhamnopyranoside (2) (39 mg) and limoci-
trin 3-O-rutinoside-7-O-b-glucopyranoside (3) (12 mg).
From the eluate with MeOH±H2O (4:6), procyanidins
B-2 (52 mg), C-1 (10 mg), liriodendrin (9 mg), 8-meth-
oxykaempferol 3-O-sophoroside (63 mg) and isorham-
netin 3-O-2G-rhamnopyranosylrutinoside (5) (120 mg)
were obtained after repeated column chromatography.
The eluate with MeOH±H2O (6:4) was similarly puri-
®ed by a combination of column chromatographies to
yield 6 (63 mg) and 8 (17 mg). The known polyphenols
were identi®ed by comparison of their physical data
with the reported values.
