L. s. str. (Liliaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Tibetan medicine for treating diseases of the
Allium senescens
hematopoietic system [1]. The chemical composition of this species has been insufficiently studied. It is known to contain
ascorbic acid [2], the alkaloid alliin [3], and two spirostanol glycosides gracillin and rhamnosidodioscin [4]. The goal of our
work was to investigate flavonoids from the aerial part of

found flavonoids. Hydrolysis by HCl (2 M, 2 h, 100°C)
Preliminary investigations of the aerial part of
A. senescens
of the total alcohol extract produced quercetin and kaempferol (HPTLC, solvent system 1; HPLC, conditions A).
Flavonoids were isolated by extracting raw material (aerial part of collected near Ulan-Ude, Buryatiya,
A. senescens
2006; 1 kg) with ethanol (70%, 1:10). The alcohol extract was concentrated to an aqueous residue that was extracted
successively with CHCl , ethylacetate, and -butanol.

The butanol fraction (19 g) was chromatographed over a column of polyamide (Woelm for CC) using H O→5-95%

ethanol (HPTLC monitoring, solvent system 1). Fractions obtained by elution with ethanol (20%) (176 mg) were
rechromatographed over silica gel (Chemapol, Silicagel L 100/400) using benzene:methanol (100:0→0:100) and then were
separated by preparative HPLC (conditions B) to afford 35 mg of 1, the purity of which was confirmed by HPLC (conditions

A). Based on spectral data (UV, PMR, and C NMR) and chemical transformations, 1 was identified as kaempferol-3- -β-
