CYANOGENIC GLYCOSIDES IN LEAVES OF PERILLA FRUTESCENS VAR. ACUTA

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(00)83060-5

Besides 7-(2-O-β-D-glucuronyl-β-D-glucuronyloxy)-5,3',4'-trihydroxyflavone, scutellarin, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid, two cyanogenic glycosides have been isolated from the dried leaves of Perilla frutescens var. acuta.One of them is prunasin and the other is (R)-2-(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-phenylacetonitrile, a new isomer of amygdalin.Key Word Index - Perilla frutescens var. acuta; Labiatae; cyanogenic glycoside; (R)-2-(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-phenylacetonitrile; prunasin; 7-(2-O-β-D-glucuronyl-β-D-glucuronyloxy)-5,3',4'-trihydroxy-flavone; scutellarin; rosmarinic acid; caffeic acid.
