Polyphenolic Metabolites of the Flowers of Tamarix tetragyna

Phytochemical study of the constitutive polyphenolics of the flower aqueous alcohol extract of Tamarix tetragyna was carried out. The new sulphated flavonol, quercetin 3',4'-dimethyl ether $3-O-KSO_3$ as well as the new natural galloyl glucose, $2-O-galloyl-({\alpha}/{\beta})-^4C_1-glucopyranose$ were isolated and characterized. The known sulphated flavonols, kaempferol 7,4-dimethyl ether $3,5-di-O-KSO_3$, quercetin 7-methyl ether $3,3',4'-tri-O-KSO_3$, quercetin 7,4'-dimethyl ether $3-O-KSO_3$ and quercetin $3-O-KSO_3$ and the known sulphated phenolics, isoferulic acid $3-O-KSO_3$ and ellagic acid 4,4'-dimethyl ether $3-O-KSO_3$ were also separated and identified. The structures were established by conventional methods of analysis and confirmed by $^1H-,\;^{13}C-NMR$ and negative ESI-mass spectrometry. 2D-homonuclear chemical shift correlation NMR experiment was applied for the new natural galloylglucose.
