A new coumarin glycoside, namely physochloside A, together with four known compounds, was isolated
from the ethanol extract of Physochlaina physaloides. The structure of physochloside A was identified by UV,
IR, ESI-MS, 1D NMR, and 2D NMR.
Keywords: Physochlaina physaloides, Solanaceae, physochloside A.
Physochlaina physaloides (Solanaceae) is found predominantly in the hill, gully, and grassland of Humeng and
Ximeng, Inner Mongolia. The roots of P. physaloides are utilized to treat many diseases, such as swelling, analgesia, and
spasmolysis [1]. Secondary metabolites, including alkaloids [2–4] and coumarins [5], have been reported from P. physaloides.
Alkaloids and coumarins are important secondary metabolites in plant that exhibit significant pharmacological activities
[
6–8], including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hypotensive, and anticoagulant, which prompted us to further study
this plant.
From the EtOH extract of P. physaloides, five compounds were obtained. On the basis of H, 13C NMR, COSY,
HSQC, and HMBC spectra, as well as by comparison with previous reports, compound (1) was identified as a new compound
while the remaining four compounds were found to be the known compounds 6-hydroxycoumarin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (2) [9],

-methoxycoumarin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (3) [9], scopolamine (4) [10], and hyoscyamine (5) [10].
Compound 1 was obtained as a white amorphous powder. The molecular formula was determined to be C H O

by HR-ESI-MS at m/z 1001.8622 [M – H] (calcd for C H O , 1002.8632). In the H NMR spectrum (Table 1), there are

two characteristic resonances for H-3 and H-4 of coumarin at δ 6.33 (1H, d, J = 9.5 Hz, H-3) and 7.97 (1H, d, J = 9.5 Hz,
H-4). The remaining aromatic signals at δ 7.32 (1H, s) and 7.20 (1H, s) were assigned to H-5 and H-8 based on the HMBC
correlations from H-5 (δ 7.32) to C-4 (δ 144.7), C-6 (δ 146.4), C-7 (δ 150.2), and C-9 (δ 149.4), and H-8 (δ 7.20) to C-6
(
δ 146.4), C-7 (δ 150.2), C-9 (δ 149.4), and C-10 (δ 112.8).

The C NMR spectrum showed 40 carbon signals, of which 10 were assigned to the aglycon part and 30 to the sugar
moiety. In the aglycon part, a methoxy carbon signal was present in addition to a coumarin skeleton carbon signals at δ 161.0
C-2), 113.8 (C-3), 144.7 (C-4), 110.1 (C-5), 146.4 (C-6), 150.2 (C-7), 103.4 (C-8), 149.4 (C-9), and112.8 (C-10). The HMBC
(
correlation (Fig. 1) from CH O- (δ 3.83) to C-6 (δ 146.4) indicated that the methoxyl group was attached to C-6.

Acid hydrolysis [11, 12] of compound 1 afforded sugar components identified as D-glucose and D-galactose by GC
analysis. The peaks of authentic samples of D-glucose and D-galactose after treatment in the same manner were detected at

9.6 and 20.7 min. The presence of five anomeric proton signals at δ 5.10 (1H, d, J = 7.5 Hz, H-1′), 4.26 (1H, d, J = 7.5 Hz,
H-1′′), 4.12 (1H, d, J = 7.5 Hz, H-1′′′), 4.90 (1H, d, J = 3.5 Hz, H-1′′′′), and 5.18 (1H, d, J = 3.5 Hz, H-1′′′′′) and of five
corresponding carbon signals at δ 99.9, 97.4, 104.5, 92.7, and 92.2 also indicated that compound 1 contained a pentasaccharide
of three D-glucoses and two D-galactoses. The α-anomeric configuration of the two D-galactoses was revealed by the coupling
constant (3.5 Hz). The large coupling constant (7.5 Hz) suggested that the anomeric configuration of the three D-glucoses
was β [13].
